Accepted Answer

Chamomile Oil

Chamomile oil has many health benefits. There are various anti-inflammatory constituents inherent in the oil, making it a great option to treat eye infections. However, essential oils are highly concentrated, so they should not be used around eyes even in the diluted form because your baby’s skin is sensitive and he can experience a  burning sensation and irritation when applied around his eyes. Therefore, avoid applying it directly to your baby’s eyes, but if you wish to use it, better to diffuse it by adding a couple of drops of the oil in a humidifier or in some steaming water and keeping it a safe distance away from the baby. The vapours can bring some relief from the irritation caused by the infection. Also, ensure the room is well ventilated, and the vapours are mild.
