Question

A parent inquired about their five-month-old baby who has developed red blood vessels in the eyes and yellowing. The parent mentioned that the baby had diarrhea seven days prior, after which the eyes began to show blood vessels. Initially, the parent did not pay much attention, but now they notice that the baby has eye mucus in the corners when waking up. They want to know what this situation is, whether treatment is needed, and how to handle it.

Answer

Based on the description, the child is five months old and currently has minor red blood vessels in the eyes and yellowing, which is typically associated with conjunctivitis and may be due to the previous diarrhea. The parent should pay attention to the baby’s sleep patterns, ensuring they get adequate and deep sleep. Additionally, TobraDex eye drops can be used for treatment, and the baby’s condition should be carefully observed. These suggestions are for the situation where “a five-month-old baby has red blood vessels and yellowing in the eyes.” I hope this helps the parents, and wish the baby well.
