Hello, the baby's gums are common in the following situations. The first case is congenital lacrimal duct obstruction. Under normal circumstances, our eyes have an unobstructed tear drainage system, which drains the tears secreted in the natural open state to the nasal cavity through the nasolacrimal duct, which plays the role of lubricating the cornea, washing and wetting the eye surface. When some children are born, the lower outlet of nasolacrimal duct is closed by a film, or the normal secretion of tears cannot flow into the nasal cavity due to amniotic fluid and excrement in the fetal period, resulting in yellow secretion. The performance is that the baby began to shed tears a few days after birth, accompanied by yellow gums, which could not be completely cured by using antibiotic eye drops. People who shed tears and have a lot of secretions shortly after birth are mostly congenital lacrimal duct obstruction, which can occur in one eye or both eyes, with different degrees of severity. Generally, within three months, the baby will massage the lacrimal passage area under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, some children can open their eyes by themselves, and tears and gums will disappear. However, some children over half a year old who still have lacrimal duct obstruction can be treated by doctors such as lacrimal duct irrigation, lacrimal duct probing or lacrimal duct intubation to promote lacrimal duct patency. The second case is trichiasis. The baby's nose bone is not fully developed and his cheeks are fat. When the lower eyelid is squeezed, eyelashes will attach to the black eyeball (cornea). In this case, the eyelashes stimulate the cornea, and the baby will have a foreign body sensation, which will cause tears. Rubbing your eyes repeatedly with your fingers will produce gum. Don't worry about this situation, because the child's eyelashes are soft and the damage to the black eyeball (cornea) is limited. Proper use of some anti-inflammatory drugs and gels can protect corneal epithelium. Generally, with the development of children's nasal bones, the symptoms of trichiasis will gradually decrease, and tears will also decrease after eye irritation is alleviated. A few patients with severe trichiasis can choose surgical correction after 3 years old. The third case is infectious conjunctivitis. When the baby has a fever, a cold, a runny nose and a cough, it is easy to have more gums, yellow color and tears. This is mostly because the pathogenic bacteria of upper respiratory tract infection are accompanied by rubbing eyes when children wipe their noses and cough, which leads to bacteria, chlamydia trachomatis or viruses infecting conjunctiva or cornea. In this case, parents should first be advised to take their children to the internal medicine department in time to control upper respiratory tract infection, and at the same time encourage their children to wash their hands frequently, instead of wiping their noses and rubbing their eyes with their fingers. Doctors suggest that tobias eye drops, Clobital eye drops or Liko eye gel can be used for local disinfection to kill the virus. At the same time, reduce activities in public places, and don't take children to kindergartens, schools, early education classes, etc. , to avoid cross infection. The fourth situation is getting angry. Autumn and winter are coming, the air is dry and heated, the room is not well ventilated, and parents dress their children too much. Because the children's immune system is not well developed, the thermoregulatory center is relatively fragile, and many children have many gums, dry mouth, red tongue and thick tongue coating. In this case, try not to choose oral powder removal. After all, the ingredients and effects of some Chinese medicines have different effects on children with different constitutions. Parents can choose to give their children some pear water, melon water, water chestnut and so on. , while reducing the intake of meat and seafood. Dinner is mainly thick porridge and noodles, which can be alleviated by increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits. If the baby's gums are large and yellow-green, most of them need to see an ophthalmologist to decide whether to use anti-inflammatory eye drops at home. The fifth case is allergic conjunctivitis. Children often come into contact with various substances in nature (such as dust, dirt, animal fur, pollen, alcohol, chemical fiber fabrics, etc.). ), easy to cause allergies and conjunctivitis, called allergic conjunctivitis. That is, the mucous membrane on the surface of the eye produces allergic reaction to special allergen particles suspended in the air. Children will have itchy eyes, tears, photophobia, foreign body sensation, repeated jealousy, sticky secretions in the morning, accompanied by sneezing and runny nose. In this case, parents should be aware that their children are allergic. First of all, they should stop the stimulation of allergens, reduce the activity time in outdoor lawns and playgrounds, reduce the contact between cats, dogs and animals, and reduce the intake of seafood, fish and shrimp. Steroids and antiallergic eye drops can be used for short-term treatment in acute stage, and natural plant desensitization factors without stimulation can be used for complete desensitization after the condition is stable. Ordinary anti-inflammatory drugs are generally ineffective, so parents should not buy eye drops for their children in pharmacies. Physical therapy, including eye ice compress (or cold compress), can reduce the local temperature of eyes, slow down the activity of allergic cells and reduce the release of allergic chemicals, thus slowing down allergic symptoms.
