How to treat red bumps in the corners of the baby’s eyes

When a distinct localized red nodule is found in the corner of the baby’s eye, and if the baby shows significant crying when touched by hand, the initial suspicion is that it is caused by blepharitis, as blepharitis is an inflammatory disease. In the early stages the eyelids will show congestion and swelling with pressure and pain, and the child will have an abnormal reaction of crying when the parents touch the lumps. Clinical advice is to use local cold compresses, eye spots with anti-inflammatory eye solution, and systemic anti-inflammatory treatment if necessary. Usually the pus will mature after 3-7 days. It is important to monitor the child’s condition and visit the hospital ophthalmologist in a timely manner, requiring pus release therapy if necessary. If there are frequent recurrent episodes of blepharitis, this may manifest as a red granuloma on the eyelid, requiring surgical treatment.
