4-and-a-half-year-old Child’s Sclera Partially Red

Question

A 4-and-a-half-year-old child has half of the white part of their eye sclera red. What could be the cause?

Answer

Partial redness of the sclera in a 4-and-a-half-year-old child may indicate symptoms of conjunctivitis or lacrimal duct obstruction. It is recommended to first treat with eye drops, such as alternating use of acyclovir eye drops and ofloxacin eye drops every 2 hours. Additionally, boil and disinfect face towels 2-3 times a day and use them separately to prevent recurrence of infection. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health!
