Patient's question:
The little baby is about five months old since birth. Since birth, there has been a lot of eye discharge, and it's the same every time they wake up. Sometimes their eyes are so swollen they can't open them. The doctor who examined them said it was due to fetal heat. I would like to consult on how to get rid of the fetal heat in the baby.Doctor's answer:
Fetal fever is required to treat with detoxification, clear heat, and extinguish fire. Under the guidance of a doctor, detoxification and clear heat granules can be taken for treatment. It is recommended to give the baby more water, avoid excessive formula feeding, and breastfeed. Warm water can be given between meals to help reduce fever.For breastfed babies, mothers should consume more high-quality protein foods, vegetables, and fruits. Avoid using soap for washing; instead, apply vegetable oil or moisturizing oil to the scabs, wait for them to soften, and then clean with infant shampoo. Clean eye secretions promptly and maintain good eye hygiene.
