My baby’s right eye is swollen?

Oh no, your baby’s right eye is swollen! Don’t panic yet. We’re here to help you and soothe that little one of yours.

What could be causing the swelling in my baby’s right eye?

Swelling in a baby’s right eye can be attributed to several factors. Here are some probable causes:

An insect bite

Insects bites on a child’s face may cause swelling around the eyes because of inflammation in the affected area (ouch!).

Allergies

If your newborn encounters anything they’re allergic to, it can trigger symptoms such as reactions from consuming allergens like peanuts, milk or egg products – this can even result to hives and face puffiness due to inflammatory response knowns as anaphylaxis.

Pink Eye

Conjunctivitis aka pink eye affects babies too – It happens when mucous membrane (conjuctiva) covering surface of their eyeball gets inflamed by bacteria/viruses/allergens thereby leading to redness/swelling/discharge along with itchiness/pain which often makes them weep more regularly than usual (poor bubba).

Is there anything I should do if my baby has a swollen right eye?

First things first – stay calm suga!

There are several steps you can take at home before taking your young cutie pie for medical attention:

Clean up

Always make sure to keep Em clean- wipe away any dirt/moisture/residue from his/her eyelids using cotton pads soaked with cool water or hold gentle compresses against the affected areas frequently throughout day so bad bugs don’t invade already sick spots! No harshness puppa-bear!

### Massage softly
A lovely snuggly massage around any sore spot usually helps reduce puffines especially before bed time- its therapeutic healin’ stufff let that aroma therapy sooth that lump out!

Place a cool compress

Cooling the swollen area can help reduce the inflammation – Wrap a moistened washcloth in cold water or place it in your refrigerator for 10 minutes before placing over the baby’s right eye.

### Keep her elevated when she sleeps
Elevating Emma’s head while she sleeps could potentially lessen swelling symptoms by providing improved blood circulation as fluid will not pool to collect on irritable areas zzz.. z… ZZZZ

When should I seek medical professionals?

Sometimes home remedies may not solve big problems. If you witness any of these symptoms below, contact your pediatrician immediately:

Persistent discharge

If there is thick drainage coming from baby’s eyes’ even after gentle cleanings, check in with your doctor as antibiotic medication may be needed.
