Question
What are the causes of infant eye swelling?
Answer
Eye swelling can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, sleep posture, diet, dehydration, infectious diseases, or endocrine problems. Typically, non-inflammatory swelling may be related to allergies or sleep posture; inflammatory swelling, on the other hand, may be accompanied by redness and pain and could be due to bacterial infection. Additionally, conjunctivitis can also lead to eye swelling. If the child does not have other symptoms and urine tests are normal, there may be no need to worry excessively. However, to ensure the child’s health, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for a thorough examination.
