POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. The swelling and dryness around your child's eyes, along with a pinkish color, could be due to several factors, including:
1. Allergic Reaction: Allergies to dust, pollen, or certain foods can cause swelling and irritation around the eyes.
2. Eczema: Atopic dermatitis can lead to dry, itchy, and swollen skin around the eyes.
3. Contact Dermatitis: This can occur from irritants or allergens touching the skin around the eyes.
4. Insect Bites: Bites in that area can lead to localized swelling.
What to Do:
Avoid Irritants: Keep your child away from potential allergens and irritants.
Moisturize: Use a gentle, hypoallergenic moisturizer around the eyes.
Cold Compress: Applying a cool, damp cloth can help reduce swelling.
When to See a Doctor:
If the symptoms persist, worsen, or if you notice other concerning signs (like changes in behavior, discharge from the eyes, or significant redness), it's best to consult a pediatrician or dermatologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.
