What kind of help I need:
I would like to roughly understand what might be the cause.

Doctor's answer:

In babies, this condition is often caused by stomach upset or other reasons leading to conjunctivitis. It is recommended to actively implement antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment. During this period, pay attention to giving the baby more fluids to digest, and prevent them from rubbing their eyes with their hands. Always maintain a positive and optimistic attitude towards the illness. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine methods can be used for treatment. For this condition, it is suggested to first use Western medicine to suppress the symptoms, and then use traditional Chinese medicine to address the root cause.
