What are the causes of excessive eye boils in babies?

When a baby is born, there is a layer of grayish white stuff on the eyes, not eye drops, this layer of grayish white stuff is medically called “fetal fat”, fetal fat has the role of protecting the skin and preventing heat dissipation, it can be absorbed by itself, so you can’t just wipe it off. When babies are 2 months and 1 year old, they will have a lot of eye boogers because of their physical development. Some babies will have a lot of eye boogers in one eye, and some mothers even find that their babies have a lot of yellow eye boogers. When babies are 2-3 months old, they may wake up in the morning with some eye boogers on their eyes. This is because the eyelashes tend to grow inward during this period, and the eye is stimulated by friction to produce eye boogers. There are many babies in the 2-6 months of age, there are a lot of eye droppings, more serious even appear to secrete the eyelashes stick, resulting in the baby eyelids can not open and cry. You can wipe it off with a warm towel or use a cotton swab with 2% boric acid solution to gently wipe it off from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye. Other manifestations of baby’s eye stool are: 1. Baby’s eye stool in one eye: this situation will also occur, as the mother is also worried, just appear baby’s eye stool in one eye will not be the baby has a disease? The mother does not have to worry, if the baby has a lot of eye boogers in one eye, it may be caused by fire, it may be caused by diet, or it may be due to cover too much. 2, baby eye stool and yellow: when the mother found that the baby eye stool not only more, and eye stool appears yellow, what is the reason? What’s wrong with baby’s yellow eye boogers? What should I do if my baby has yellow eye boogers? First of all, the mother should observe whether the baby also has yellow urine or dry stools, which are all signs of fire. If your baby also has these symptoms, then you can tell that your baby may be suffering from fire that is causing the baby to have yellow eye stools. At this time, the mother should give the baby more water, appropriate to drink hot soup or herbal tea, etc.. If the eye stool is also yellow and yellow in a single eye, it may also be inflammatory and can be treated with eye drops under the advice of the doctor. Yellow eye stool is a sign of bacterial conjunctivitis. Yellow eye stool is a bacterial infection of the conjunctiva resulting in a purulent discharge. Pay attention to local hygiene and don’t just wipe your eyes and surroundings with unclean objects. It is recommended to use chloramphenicol eye drops or Renso eye drops for 3-5 times a day. In addition, babies who eat formula milk are more prone to fire, so you should give them more water and should eat more vegetables and fruit juice. What are the causes of baby’s eye boils? Cause 1: Stimulation of eyelashes In normal children, eyelashes tend to grow inward when they are 2-3 months old, and the eyeballs are stimulated by friction to produce eye boils. At the age of 1 year, the eyelashes will naturally grow outward, and the eye stool will gradually become less and less. You can also use a cotton swab with 2% boric acid solution to gently wipe it from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner of the eye. Cause 2: Fire The child’s body has accumulated heat, which is commonly referred to as “fire”. Often accompanied by fear of heat, easy sweating, dry stools, thick tongue coating and other symptoms. Elimination method: usually feed more water, if necessary, take some Chinese medicine to clear the heat and fire, eliminate food and stagnation, or go to the hospital. Cause 3: Bacterial infection If the baby suddenly has a lot of eye stool, and yellow, along with eye congestion, redness, it may be due to bacterial invasion into the tear sac triggered by keratitis, the cornea can change from black to white to form white spots, if not treated in time will affect the development of the child’s vision. 1, neonatal gonorrheal conjunctivitis: confirm the diagnosis according to: one of the parents has a history of promiscuous sex; the baby’s eye was infected during delivery and must develop within five days of birth; the yellow pus is as much as the pus gushing from the eyelid fissure; mostly in both eyes and less in one eye. 2. Acute conjunctivitis in infants and young children: characterized by acute onset, mostly usual (common in summer) or even epidemic onset; mostly bilateral, with many sticky eye droppings; in case of pneumococcal and Corynebacterium infection, the lid conjunctiva grows a layer of white pseudomembrane; some combined with punctate keratitis affecting vision. The duration of the disease is up to one month. Elimination: Do not use eye drops without permission in this case. In addition, we must emphasize personal hygiene, not to mix with others to use washbasins, towels and other bathing items to prevent cross-infection. Cause 4: Inadequate development of the nasolacrimal ducts in infants The nasolacrimal ducts in infants are short and the flap at the opening is not fully developed and is located in the inner canthus of the eye. This prevents tears from being discharged smoothly and leads to the accumulation of eye droppings. Elimination method: You can use your hand to massage the bridge of your baby’s nose every day to help the nasolacrimal ducts flow smoothly.
