What to Do If Your Child Has Excessive Eye Discharge After Weaning?

Question

My child is 18 months old, but since weaning at 11 months, there has been a lot of eye discharge, and sometimes inverted eyelashes. Why is there still so much eye discharge?

Answer

Firstly, it is important to rule out eye diseases. Excessive eye discharge after weaning in infants may be caused by inflammation, and it is recommended to drink more water, increase the intake of vegetables and fruits, and consider adding some adjusted formulas to the formula milk. If the situation does not improve after a period of time, it is suggested to switch to a different brand of baby formula and also to drink some herbal tea in moderation to balance the body’s internal heat. I hope this answer is helpful to you.
