From your description, it is difficult to accurately determine the cause of the child's conjunctivitis. This is important because many diseases can cause conjunctivitis symptoms. It is recommended that you go to a higher-level hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the child's treatment. At the same time, pay attention to frequently disinfecting the child's towels and applying cold compresses to the child's eyes, as this may help alleviate the condition. Since there are many diverse causes of external eye diseases in children, it is essential to understand the underlying cause before treatment and implement symptomatic treatment principles. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to eat less spicy food and consume more eye-protecting foods.
