What should I do if my child has eye discharge after weaning?

Patient's question:

My child is now 18 and a half months old, but it seems that since she started weaning at 11 months, her eyes have been prone to producing eye discharge. Sometimes she also has ingrown eyelashes. When she was younger, she had ingrown hairs, but the doctor said it would improve as she grew older, and it has indeed gotten better. But why is she still prone to eye discharge?

Doctor's answer:

First, rule out eye problems. Also, since infants who drink formula are prone to constipation, we must give the baby more water and add more vegetables and fruits. You can also add a companion to the formula. If the condition persists after a period of time, it is recommended to change the brand of infant formula. It is recommended that the baby drink more water and can also be given some herbal tea appropriately to relieve constipation. I hope the above answer is helpful to you.
