Question
My baby is five months old, and their lower eyelid is often red and swollen with small granules. Although the eye drops prescribed by the doctor have helped, the symptoms recur soon after. I’m asking if there are other solutions.
Answer
At five months old, if a baby’s lower eyelid is red and swollen with small granules, it may be due to conjunctivitis or eyelid inflammation, or possibly chalazion. It’s recommended to carefully inspect the situation, ensure the baby gets adequate sleep, avoid rubbing the eyes with dirty hands, and consider using eye drops for treatment. It’s important to continue observing and follow the doctor’s advice.
