A. I’m sorry to hear about your baby’s fall. A red or blotchy appearance in the eye could indicate a subconjunctival hemorrhage (a small burst blood vessel) or swelling due to impact. Here's what you can do: Immediate Steps: 1. Apply a Cold Compress: Gently place a clean, cold, damp cloth or an ice pack wrapped in a soft cloth over the eye for 10–15 minutes. Do this every 1–2 hours on the first day to reduce swelling. 2. Monitor the Baby: Check for changes in behavior (excessive crying, drowsiness, vomiting, or difficulty focusing) as these may indicate a head injury. 3. Avoid Applying Creams or Ointments Without Medical Advice: Over-the-counter creams or eye drops should not be used unless prescribed by a pediatrician or an eye specialist. --- When to See a Doctor Immediately: 1. If the redness in the eye worsens or spreads. 2. If there’s swelling around the eye that doesn’t subside within 24 hours. 3. If the baby appears to have difficulty seeing, keeps rubbing the eye, or seems irritable. 4. Signs of a potential head injury, such as: Vomiting. Unresponsiveness or extreme drowsiness. Uneven pupils or eye movements. --- Precautions: Keep the baby supervised and ensure the area around the bed is cushioned to prevent further accidents. Place the baby on a lower surface or use safety guards to prevent falls. If you’re unsure or concerned about the injury, it’s best to consult your pediatrician promptly to rule out any serious issues.
