Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry a lot. Is it possible that red and itchy eyes could be due to hyperthyroidism?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's not usually the case, but it could be caused by allergic conjunctivitis. The treatment for allergic conjunctivitis primarily involves using anti-allergic medications. Additionally, it's recommended to visit the hospital to check for allergens and avoid contact with them to prevent recurrence. It could also be due to issues like "internal heat" or conjunctivitis. It's advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a proper examination. Also, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and eats a balanced diet with vegetables and fruits. For medication, you can try applying erythromycin ointment or nutritional eye drops. Maintain good hygiene, avoid foods, and prevent the baby from rubbing their eyes. Wishing the baby healthy and happy growth!
