A. Swelling around your baby's eyes can have several causes, some of which may require medical attention. Here are some common reasons for eye swelling in infants: 1. Allergic Reactions: Allergies to food, pollen, pet dander, or dust can cause swelling around the eyes. This might be accompanied by other symptoms like redness, itching, or a runny nose. 2. Infection: Conditions such as conjunctivitis (pink eye) or a blocked tear duct can lead to swelling. This may also involve discharge from the eyes and increased tearing. 3. Injury: If your baby has bumped or scratched the area around the eye, it could result in swelling. 4. Insect Bites: Bites from insects can cause localized swelling around the eyes. 5. Fluid Retention: Sometimes, fluid retention can occur due to crying, teething, or sleeping in certain positions. If the swelling is accompanied by other concerning symptoms such as fever, redness, discharge, or if it doesn't improve within a day or two, it is important to consult a pediatrician. They can assess the situation and recommend appropriate treatment based on the underlying cause.
