Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry a lot. How should I deal with a three-week-old baby's red eyes?Doctor's answer:
General conjunctival congestion caused by minor trauma usually resolves within a few days after applying antibiotic eye drops, as long as it does not affect vision, there is no significant pain or foreign body sensation, and there is no need to worry. If it does, you should promptly go to the hospital for a thorough examination. You can have a CT scan of the head to check for any severe concussions or blood clots. If any issues are detected, it is essential to seek timely treatment. During this period, you must pay close attention to getting adequate rest and ensuring sufficient deep sleep each day. In terms of diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and maintain a balanced combination of meat and vegetables to enhance your body's immunity, which is beneficial for a full recovery.
