Question
My baby has been born not long ago, and their eyes are always watery, and they always cry. Could red, itchy eyes be a sign of hyperthyroidism?
Answer
Generally not, but it’s not ruled out that it could be due to allergic conjunctivitis. The treatment for allergic conjunctivitis mainly involves using anti-allergic medications, followed by checking for allergens at the hospital to avoid contact with them, which can help prevent the condition from occurring. It could also be due to heat, conjunctivitis, or other issues. You can take your baby to the hospital for a regular check-up. In the meantime, make sure to drink plenty of water, eat appropriate amounts of vegetables and fruits, and try using red mold ointment or nutritional eye drops for treatment. Maintain good hygiene, avoid irritating foods, and don’t let your baby rub their eyes. Wishing your baby a healthy and happy growth!
