Patient's question:
How should the treatment be for a baby's injured eye?Doctor's answer:
Your baby has a bruised eyelid with no impact on vision. If it's in the early stage of redness and swelling, you can start by applying cold compresses with a cold towel or ice to constrict the surrounding blood vessels. After 1-2 days, you can switch to warm compresses to promote the absorption of swelling. Additionally, you can take some oral antibiotics to help reduce inflammation.If your baby has a conjunctival bruise, if there is only a small amount of bleeding, it can be absorbed on its own, and you can apply antibiotic eye drops locally. If the injury is severe and affects vision, you should take your baby to the hospital for treatment.
