Question
An 8-month-old baby is experiencing eye swelling. Could this be due to extended crying? The baby’s condition has been ongoing, and the parents are reluctant to administer medication random . They are seeking medical advice.
Answer
Excessive or prolonged crying can indeed lead to eyelid edema, but this condition usually does not persist for long and often resolves naturally. If the eyelids remain swollen for an extended period, it is advisable to take the baby to a pediatrician for a thorough examination. Eye swelling in infants may be related to the following factors: first, consuming too much fluid before bedtime; second, incorrect sleep posture; third, poor digestive function; fourth, poor sleep quality. Parents should take the baby to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up, pay attention to maintaining eye hygiene, and prevent the baby from rubbing their eyes with their hands, while continuously observing their condition.
