Question
What should I do if my baby’s eyes become double eyelids?
Answer
When a baby’s eyes suddenly develop double eyelids, parents often feel concerned, especially when they notice that the baby’s mood also deteriorates. In such cases, parents may worry if the baby will have a fever. However, a baby’s eyes becoming double eyelids is usually due to insufficient rest. Therefore, ensuring the baby gets enough sleep and maintains stable emotions is very important. Additionally, encouraging the baby to drink more water can help maintain normal bodily functions. Regarding whether parents can give the baby antiviral medication in advance, doctors usually advise against self-medicating the baby. If there is concern about the baby having a fever, the baby can be given some banlangen (blue root) tea to prevent it, and parents should also ensure that the baby’s diet is light and healthy.
