Question
My baby is six months old, and their eyes are red in the morning, making it hard to open them. I want to know what could be the cause? I’ve already seen a doctor who said that using some eye drops would help, but it’s been eight days and it hasn’t gotten better. I would like to ask an expert how to treat it?
Answer
If the baby experiences red eyes again, it may be due to an inflammation caused by maternal infection. In this case, it is not recommended to use ofloxacin and dexamethasone eye drops. It is suggested to use physiological saline to clean the eyes and seek assistance from professional medical personnel to avoid improper handling. After cleaning a few times, observe the situation. At this point, it is not advisable to use medication as it may cause side effects. Additionally, give the baby more water to promote inflammation metabolism and continue to monitor the situation. The above suggestions are for reference only.
