Patient's question:
Accidentally bumped my eye while eating, and after a while I could open it. But later in the night, I started crying a lot. My eye has swollen from looking after the child, and I can't open it, it tears up, and I cry when it's touched.Previous treatment and effectiveness: None
Any assistance needed: How can I reduce the swelling?
Doctor's answer:
The connective tissues around the eyes are relatively loose, so they are prone to swelling again but also tend to subside easily. There's no need to be overly anxious.Advice: Within 24 hours, you can use cold compresses. After 24 hours, you can continue using cold compresses and carefully observe whether the child's eyes are red. If they are very red, you can appropriately use anti-inflammatory eye drops.
The above advice is for the question "My child is eight months old and accidentally bumped their eye while eating yesterday." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
