Lower eyelid swelling in babies may be caused by physiologic factors, and may also be related to eye allergies, insect bites, blepharitis, blepharospasmal cysts, cardiac and renal diseases, and other pathologic factors.
If the baby drinks too much water before bedtime or sleeps poorly at night, it may lead to water retention in the lower eyelid subcutaneous, which is manifested as swelling of the lower eyelid.
Allergic babies who are exposed to allergens such as pollen, hair or mosquito bites may experience a metamorphic reaction in the skin of the eyelids, resulting in swelling of the eyelids, which may also be accompanied by itchy eyelids and other uncomfortable symptoms.
If the patient’s lower eyelid glands are infected by bacteria and other germs and blepharitis occurs, under the stimulation of inflammation, the patient may experience eyelid swelling and other uncomfortable symptoms. If the opening of the blepharoplasty gland in the lower eyelid is blocked, resulting in the accumulation of secretions and the formation of blepharoplasty cysts, the lower eyelid may also be swollen. Patients with eye trauma may also experience redness, swelling, and pain in the eyelids.
In addition, children with congenital heart disease or systemic diseases such as kidney disease, which result in fluid retention due to congenital developmental anomalies, may also experience eyelid swelling, accompanied by lower limb edema and other discomforts.
It is recommended that children with significant eyelid swelling seek medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow medical advice.
