Patient's question:
The baby, who is two and a half weeks old, woke up from her nap today with redness and slight swelling under her eyes. In the evening, she ate kiwi by herself, and 70% of her face turned red, but there were no bumps. She had never had an allergic reaction to kiwi before. This time, she ate the kiwi skin with her mouth. How can the redness go down? It hasn’t disappeared even after tonight. I applied erythromycin ointment to her eyes.Doctor's answer:
The baby's condition is considered to be caused by some allergies. It is okay to focus on applying erythromycin ophthalmic ointment to the baby. Encourage the baby to drink more water, pay attention to preventing colds, maintain a light diet, and take good care of the baby. Avoid letting them eat random things. The baby's skin may be delicate, and the friction of kiwifruit skin on the skin may cause skin allergies. It is recommended to wait and see if there are no other symptoms. If the symptoms do not improve, go to the hospital for a follow-up visit. During this period, pay attention to a light diet, drink more water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. I hope this helps, and wish you good health!
