Question
My baby is five months old, and it seems like there has been a little redness since a few days after birth. Now there seem to be more veins, and I don’t know what the cause might be. Will it have any effects?
Answer
Hello! It may be due to regional capillary dilation, and it should resolve in a couple of days without any worries. However, it’s also possible that it’s a sign of conjunctivitis. Be cautious about subconjunctival hemorrhage. You can apply cold compresses to the baby’s eyes with a towel. Additionally, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water, and the room should have good air supply. Also, pay attention to the hygiene of the eyes. Wash your baby’s hands frequently. It is still recommended to take the child to a pediatric hospital for a check-up and follow the doctor’s advice.
