What should I do if my child's eye mucus gets angry? Don't worry, the doctor will teach you how to 'fire down'!
Recently, I have often received inquiries from mothers about the baby's "getting hot":
"Doctor, I recently discovered that my baby's eyes are always full of mucus. Is this anger?"
"My baby hasn't had a bowel movement for several days in a row. The mother-in-law said that the child may be too angry, and she said that she should make some soup for the child to drink. Is this the reason?"
"Two days ago, I gave my child some longan to eat. Seeing that the child likes it very much, I fed more. But today the child told me that the gums are sore. Is he getting angry? What should I do?"

The child did not poop for several days and became angry;
The child had a nosebleed and got angry;
The tongue coating is thick, and it gets angry;

What do we mean by "getting on fire"? Is it a disease? How to deal with it in daily life?
- What is "fire"
In fact, "getting on fire" is just a common folk term. Whether it is modern medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, there is no concept of "getting on fire".
"Get angry" is a common name for a series of symptoms such as sores on the tongue, swollen and sore gums, dry throat, restlessness, constipation, and acne. In other words, getting angry is not a disease, but a symptom of a disease, which is a folk collective term for various symptoms.
So, when the baby encounters a situation of "getting angry", how should we care and deal with it? Now, let's talk about several common symptoms of "getting hot" in babies.
Common "fire" symptoms in babies
Increased eye mucus
There are many reasons for the increase of eye secretions in babies. Babies less than 3 months old usually have neonatal dacryocystitis. Because the nasolacrimal duct is blocked, eye secretions and tears cannot be discharged normally. Red and swollen eyes.
In this case, you can usually massage the lacrimal sac area first, and most of the lacrimal duct obstruction will gradually open as the baby grows. But if your baby doesn't get better after 3 months, you need to go to the hospital to avoid serious complications.
In addition, like conjunctivitis, stye, etc. can also cause inflammation, resulting in increased eye secretions.
Conjunctivitis is mainly caused by eye conjunctiva infection caused by not paying attention to cleaning at ordinary times.
If this happens to the baby, it is recommended to go to the hospital and do not use eye drops without authorization.
- Constipation
The defecation situation of the baby varies from person to person. It is obviously not comprehensive to judge constipation only by looking at the frequency of the baby's stool.
The shape of the stool and the condition of the baby are considered.
Generally, when a baby is constipated, the stool is dry, hard and small in amount, and it is granular.
Baby constipation should first consider whether the dietary fiber intake is sufficient. If the dietary arrangement is not appropriate, it will cause insufficient peristaltic motility, and the stool will stay in the intestine for too long, and the water will be reabsorbed, causing dry stool and painful defecation.
Therefore, in the dietary arrangement for the baby, we should pay attention to the reasonable collocation, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, arrange the diet according to the baby's age, and be careful not to supplement calcium arbitrarily. Excessive calcium can easily cause constipation.
For babies who are still drinking formula milk, it is best to use the formula recommended by the manufacturer when foaming milk. Pay attention to the concentration. Too thick formula milk will also cause constipation in the baby.
If the above methods are still not resolved, it is recommended to use dietary fiber drugs such as Kaisailu or oral lactulose under the guidance of a doctor.
- Sore gums
Generally speaking, gingival swelling and pain are mainly caused by inflammation of the gums, causing redness and pain in the gums, which are mainly related to factors such as poor oral hygiene.
Like the mother who consulted me at the beginning of the article, many people think that fruits such as longan and lychee are easy to "get angry". Therefore, if the child eats longan and has sore gums, he suspects that the child is "getting angry".
In fact, the reason why these fruits are "hot" is mainly because of the high sugar content in them, and it is easy to get stuck between the teeth. If parents do not pay attention to let the baby clean the mouth in time, then these pulp residues are easy to cause the growth of bacteria in the mouth , causing inflammation.
Therefore, parents must pay more attention to their children's oral hygiene, let their children develop good brushing habits, and try to eat less food that is too cold, too hot or too hot, or too acidic or too sweet. See a dentist once, if there are problems such as crowded teeth, orthodontic treatment should be done in time.
- The urine is yellow and the amount is small
Many careful mothers sometimes find that the color of their baby's urine is a little yellowish and smelly, and they suspect that the baby is "getting angry".
In fact, this situation is often because the baby drinks less water, causing the baby's urine concentration to be too high, and the urine is yellowish.
In this case, mothers can properly let their babies drink more boiled water or eat some fruits to improve the water balance in the body. If your baby is breastfeeding, give more milk.
In the process of the baby's growth, it is inevitable that various conditions will occur, but it does not mean that the baby's gastrointestinal function is likely to be damaged if it is over-treated or drinking herbal tea indiscriminately. , causing gastrointestinal disorders.
Correct understanding of "getting angry" and prescribing medicines for the symptoms, usually pay more attention to the baby's healthy diet and daily routine, and get vaccinated on time. These are the necessary magic weapons to prevent the baby from "getting angry".
