Question
After watching TV for 5 to 10 minutes, a 2-year-old girl experiences red eyes and tearfulness. How should a doctor handle this situation? Could her habit of watching mobile phones when she was a baby be related? (Female, 2 years and 1 month)
Answer
When a baby exhibits this kind of condition, it’s first important to consider the possibility of conjunctivitis. It’s recommended to reduce the time spent watching TV or using computers, as these electronic devices may have radiation effects on the eyes. You can also apply a warm, damp cloth to the baby’s eyes for cold compresses, which helps to promote blood circulation in the eyes and aids in recovery as well as reduces eye strain. The above suggestions are for your reference, and I wish you and your baby good health.
