Question
Doctor, my daughter has redness on the inside of her lower eyelid. What should we do? Is treatment necessary?
Answer
Redness in the inner part of a child’s lower eyelid may be caused by conjunctivitis, dry eye syndrome, and other conditions, leading to bloodshot and red conjunctiva. It is advisable to take the child to see an expert. Generally, as long as the condition is actively treated, it should not have a significant impact. However, since the child is still young, it is recommended not to self-medicate without professional advice, as this could potentially harm the child. Daily, it is also important for the child to get adequate rest and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. It is very important to take the child to the hospital for a check-up and treatment as soon as possible.
