Patient's question:
My baby is two years old this year. Recently, she keeps rubbing her eyes. Even when I tell her not to, she turns around and starts rubbing again without noticing. When I ask her what's wrong, she says her eyes are itchy. I wiped her eyes with a clean towel, but it's still itchy. Today, I noticed her eyes are a bit red too. I don't know if it's from rubbing or something else. What should I do? Can eye drops be used?What kind of help is needed: How to help a child with itchy eyes?
Doctor's answer:
It might be some kind of eye disease like conjunctivitis. It's best to take the baby to the hospital to see an ophthalmologist. The doctor will prescribe medication based on the baby's condition. It won't cost much. It's also important not to buy medicine randomly and apply it to the baby's eyes. Additionally, you should frequently help the baby wash their face and promptly stop them from rubbing their eyes, as the eyes are the windows of the soul. Never be careless about this. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my child's eyes are itchy?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
