Question

My baby is just 11 months old, and today at noon I noticed that there’s a lot of yellow, sticky eye mucus in the baby’s eyes, and there are red blood vessels in the eyes as well. The baby has been having diarrhea for the past two days, for about four days now. Is it due to heat or could it be keratitis? What kind of medication can a baby so young take?

Answer

It is recommended to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude towards the disease and consider using traditional Chinese medicine methods for treatment. In this case, it is suggested to first use Western medicine to control the symptoms and then use traditional Chinese medicine to treat the root cause. There are many reasons that can cause pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, reduce gastrointestinal pressure, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention not to let their child develop picky eating habits and have a balanced diet.
