Question
The 5-month-old baby’s puffy eyes are blue. Is it due to a deficiency? The baby’s hands and feet are cold, and the head is also cold. The belly is often bloated. Is this related to cold feet? What was the previous treatment and its effectiveness? Have you seen a doctor? What kind of help do you want? Is it anemia?
Answer
If the baby’s puffy eyes are blue over a wide area and on both sides, it may be a sign of poor kidney function. However, if the blue color is only slight, there is no need to worry too much. Bloating in the belly might be caused by swallowing too much air while eating. It is suggested to apply a cool compress gently to the eyelids to promote blood circulation. Use a slightly damp cotton towel to gently apply on the upper eyelid, repeating this 2 to 3 times. But remember not to use water that is too hot to avoid burning the baby’s delicate skin. The above suggestions are for the question ‘Is the 5-month-old baby’s puffy eyes blue due to a deficiency?’ I hope this helps you, and wish your baby health!
