What should I do if a child's eyes have red spots?

Patient's question:

A small red spot appeared in the child's eye, like a bruise. Is it from an impact, or is the child's temper too fiery, or is it some kind of illness? The child is only one year and two months old.

Doctor's answer:

In this case of the child, it is highly likely that the condition is subconjunctival hemorrhage. It is probable that the child had been crying hard before this occurred, causing small blood vessels in the conjunctiva to rupture and bleed. This is not due to "fever" (). There is no need to worry about this, as it will not affect the child's vision. You can take some vitamin C orally. After 24 hours of discovering this condition, you can start applying warm compresses to promote the absorption of the blood. No other measures are necessary for treatment. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
