Patient's question:
My eighteen-month-old child has red blood vessels appearing in their eyes after exposure to light. What could be the reason for this? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to visit an ophthalmologist as there is a higher possibility of it being conjunctivitis, also known as acute conjunctivitis, although it could also be caused by the baby having a "hot" constitution. Further examination is necessary for a definitive diagnosis. Rest more and avoid excessive stress. Avoid raw, cold, greasy, spicy, and irritating foods. You can consume mushrooms, milk, lean meat, green leafy vegetables, and fruits to boost immunity.
