Patient's question:
Patient Gender: Dear Expert: My baby is three months old. Sometimes she has red eye circles, but her eyes themselves are not red, just the eye circles are red. Some people say it's because the mother ate something, while others say it's due to "having a fire" in the body. There is no consensus. Could you please explain what is actually happening? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello, friend. According to your description, your condition can be preliminarily considered as keratitis or conjunctivitis. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination to confirm the diagnosis and then receive appropriate treatment. You should maintain a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and supplement with vitamin C. Avoid spicy and greasy foods, enhance hygiene, and keep your eyes clean. Use physiological saline to clear secretions promptly. You may consider using ofloxacin eye drops, chloramphenicol eye drops, etc. For viral infections, acyclovir eye drops can be used. Combined with local cold and wet compresses, the condition often improves. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can also be used for syndrome differentiation and treatment, such as modifying the Longdan Xiegan Decoction.
