Features of the eyes in newborns
The eyes of a newborn are especially susceptible to infection.
A baby's eyes differ from adults not only in structure. They are not sufficiently adapted and formed. Their peculiarity is that newborns are farsighted, cannot focus their gaze, and have weak eye muscles.
Very often the eyes of infants become inflamed. Causes of inflammation:
- bacteria,
- viruses,
- allergens.
Manifestations of the disease: the eyes become red, swollen, watery, and pus appears. It is important to get treatment in time to prevent the infection from spreading.
Most often, a baby is diagnosed with conjunctivitis and dacryocystitis:
- Conjunctivitis is characterized by increased lacrimation, swelling of the eyes and nose, and the appearance of purulent discharge. It is important to know that the disease is caused by viruses and bacteria in order to prescribe the correct treatment.
- Dacryocystitis develops when there is a blockage (film) of the nasolacrimal duct. Tears stagnate in the lacrimal sac, the eyes become sticky, and purulent discharge appears.
For these diseases, rinsing is prescribed.
General rules for washing
For rinsing, you can use either boiled or purchased purified water.
In order for the rinsing procedure to be effective and not cause harm, you need to follow some rules. The eyes are carefully washed (preferably after sleep). You can use a cotton pad, boiled water and a gauze cloth. If there are no signs of inflammation, clean boiled water is sufficient.
Dip a cotton pad in water, wring it out a little and wipe the eye from the outer to the inner corner. The remaining water is removed with a gauze cloth. The same needs to be done with the second eye.
Take only boiled water: running water contains a lot of bacteria.
Before the procedure, hands are thoroughly washed with soap.
How to rinse your eyes with saline solution for conjunctivitis?
In case of infectious conjunctivitis, it is permissible to rinse your eyes with saline solution if you have no contraindications and the ophthalmologist has given the appropriate recommendation. Washing can be done in two ways.
- Option 1.
You can use cotton swabs or disks that need to be moistened with a small amount of saline solution. A clean swab is used for each eye to prevent the spread of infection. Gently wipe the eye with moistened cotton wool in the direction from the outer to the inner corner. If there is a lot of discharge and it was not possible to remove them at one time, then the manipulation is repeated using a clean cotton pad.
With bacterial conjunctivitis, a person often wakes up in the morning with stuck together eyelashes, on which pus has dried. In this case, you must first apply a damp cotton pad to the eye and wait a little until the discharge becomes soft, after which it can be removed.
- Option 2.
Another method of rinsing is more suitable for cases when the discharge from the eyes is liquid and does not require significant effort to remove it. Using clean fingers, you need to carefully pull down the lower eyelid, drip a sodium chloride solution into your eyes (usually 2-4 drops), then close your eyes and rotate them to evenly distribute the liquid over the surface of the eyeball. The leaking solution can be carefully removed with a clean disposable handkerchief or napkin.
- We wash the eyes of infants.
First of all, you need to remember that if you have conjunctivitis, you can wash your baby’s eyes with saline solution only after consulting a doctor. For such young children, “homemade” solutions are not used - only sterile pharmaceutical ones.
If conjunctivitis occurs in very young children, their eyes need to be washed with saline solution according to a certain scheme.
The baby is placed face up on a flat surface. It is optimal if a bright toy hangs above his head, which the child will look at with pleasure. An adult, with clean hands, gently pulls down the baby's lower eyelid and drops one or two drops of saline there. Then he covers the eyelid with his hand and gently massages the eyeball through the skin so that the product is distributed. A similar manipulation is repeated with the second eye.
What rules must be followed when instilling sterile saline solution into the eyes?
- Before the procedure, be sure to wash your hands with antibacterial soap to prevent additional eye infection.
- It is advisable to take a semi-lying position or tilt your head back.
- In order not to injure the eye and drip the solution into the conjunctival cavity, it is recommended to perform the procedure in front of a mirror.
- Before rinsing your eyes with saline solution, you need to make sure that its temperature is comparable to normal body temperature. It is not recommended to drop cold saline solution into your eyes. To assess the temperature of the liquid, apply one drop to the inner bend of your elbow.
- Do not touch the eyelids or eyes with the dropper or the tip of the bottle. This can lead to infection on the bottle, which in the future can provoke a relapse of conjunctivitis or will slow down the healing process.
Washing out festering eyes
From pharmaceutical products for rinsing, Furacilin solution is often used; you should only buy it ready-made, and not in tablets, since if you prepare it yourself, particles of the medicine may remain.
Purulent discharge appears due to:
- neglect of hygiene rules (infection);
- appearance of a foreign body;
- eye diseases (conjunctivitis, dacryocystitis).
Simple water is not enough to wash purulent eyes. Drugs with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects are needed. There are several means:
- Without consulting a specialist, you can use an ancient folk remedy - tea leaves. Despite its harmlessness, it can cause harm: too hot can cause a burn. It is better to take warm, medium-strength tea leaves
- Chamomile decoction, like tea leaves, is used not hot and not strong.
Before washing, wash your hands well with soap. A clean cotton swab is moistened in the chosen product and wiped the eye according to the rules. This procedure is done at least once a day. Some experts recommend applying gentle pressure to the tear duct to squeeze out all the contents.
There is controversy regarding the use of breast milk for lavage. Some believe that milk is very healthy and sterile; it cleans the eyes well. Others claim that it contains many nutrients, which promotes the growth of bacteria even more.
Treatment with Furacilin
The medicine quickly and painlessly cleanses the contaminated mucous membranes of children, therefore it is often used for inflammatory processes. Furacilin is a cheap product and has been a part of any family first aid kit for many years.
The prepared solution is dropped into the eye using a pipette. Bury in the outer corner, not in the inner.
The second method of application is rinsing:
- warm the solution to room temperature;
- moisten a sterile bandage in the medicine;
- wash your eyes one at a time, even if only one eye is festering.
Rinsing and instillation are carried out up to 3 times a day.

Selection of medications for a newborn
The most popular and simple remedy for washing the eyes of a newborn is chamomile infusion.
When selecting medications, you need to be careful. It is advisable to consult with your treating pediatrician. Doctors usually prescribe the following.
- Furacilin is an antimicrobial agent. Release form: tablets and aqueous solution. Since the tablets do not dissolve well, they are first thoroughly crushed. One crushed tablet is mixed with 100 ml. boiled water. The resulting solution is stored for no more than a day, the next day a new one is diluted.
- Potassium permanganate solution - it should be a weak pale pink without visible crystals. Just two or three crystals per glass of boiled water are enough.
- Boric acid solution (2%) – 1 tsp. acids are diluted in a glass of water. Each eye is washed with a clean cotton swab.
Eye drops are used as prescribed by a doctor. Open the bottle with clean hands.
The tip of the pipette should not come into contact with anything.
Holding the baby's head firmly (he may jerk and get hurt), pull down the lower eyelid. Without touching the eyeball, drop a drop between the eyeball and the eyelid. The baby must blink so that the medicine spreads over the eye. Do the same with the second eye.
Typically, the following eye drops are prescribed to eliminate inflammation in newborns.
- Albucid is an antimicrobial agent that can be used from birth. The active substance is sulfacetamide.
- Tobrex – active ingredient tobramycin. According to the instructions, it is not used for babies under one year of age, but in practice, doctors prescribe drops for infants.
- Vitabact is an antiseptic, indicated for use from birth. Prescribed for dacryocystitis.
- Oftalmoferon is a combination drug with a wide spectrum of action.
The dose and duration of treatment are prescribed by the local pediatrician. There is no need to self-treat, otherwise you may harm the baby.

What causes conjunctivitis and how to treat it
There are bacterial, viral and allergic forms of conjunctivitis. With the bacterial form, both eyes are usually infected and accompanied by copious mucus production. The viral form usually affects one eye and is accompanied by tearing and mild discharge. Both of these forms of the disease are highly contagious and are easily transmitted through contact with a sick person. Therefore, during treatment it is necessary to strictly observe the following hygiene rules: use only your own towel; wash your hands regularly; change linen and towels daily; do not visit the children's group. Often conjunctivitis occurs due to an allergic reaction to some irritant: pollen, dust, odors and is expressed by redness of the eyelids, severe itching, and the release of viscous pus. The difficulty of treating conjunctivitis in young children is that children, feeling burning and itching in their eyes, constantly rub them with their hands. It is quite difficult to prohibit this. Therefore, mom needs to wash her eyes several times a day with herbal infusion of chamomile and calendula. For treatment of conjunctivitis to be successful, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner. A specialist will examine your eyes and find out the cause of conjunctivitis. It should be remembered that a severe complication of conjunctivitis can be purulent inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye. Treatment of conjunctivitis is complex and includes antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and antiparasitic drugs (depending on the cause of the disease). In addition, the patient may be prescribed antihistamines and immunomodulatory drugs. The eye can be considered healthy when the infectious agent is eliminated.

My daughter is 4 months old, her eye is a little festering, my mother said to wash it with boric acid, but she doesn’t remember how to dilute it, she bought powder at the pharmacy. 2 grams per 100 ml of water, washed with a 2% solution.
Soda in boiled water, and then wrap a bandage around your finger, dip it in the solution and wipe the child’s mouth (necessarily after eating) and after 2-3 days there will be no trace left))))))
The doctor told us to rinse with soda
Solcoseryl can be applied in a thin layer to the pacifier and the baby will suck and the paste will treat the mouth and you do not need to rub it in with your finger.. but you need to use the soda solution to treat the mouth..
Baking soda didn't help us, boric acid did.

This has nothing to do with it, treat the navel with chloramphenicol alcohol, and before that with peroxide

How to wash your eyes with conjunctivitis. The choice of eye wash solutions is quite large. For children and for allergic conjunctivitis, it is recommended to choose neutral solutions. boric acid solution
See a doctor for the animal and it will probably go away on its own, it’s like a transitional age
Try rinsing the eye and removing the pus; if that doesn’t help, contact your veterinarian.
Give antibiotic drops to children. 1 drop 2 times a day. rinse with weak tea or just boiled water. it won't go away on its own.
There are Diamond Eye drops at the pharmacy or wherever they sell animal food. They are made from the herb St. John's wort. They should rinse their eyes or buy some herbs and brew them as tea to rinse them too. Two or three times... and everything will pass.
Rinse with tea carefully

Grandmother's recipe for old tea leaves or chamomile decoction
Antibiotics are very harmful when used for such a long time. Check with your doctor, maybe the tear duct is clogged and you need to get a puncture.
Damn you are torturing a child! to the doctor!!!! immediately!
Calendula and chamomile should help. You need to find out in more detail what herbs can be used to treat. But from birth, treating with antibiotics is a nightmare. I was injected with an antibiotic for 2 days in the maternity hospital and we are still suffering with my intestines; the antibiotic killed all the beneficial microbes. I also heard that you can drip breast milk! Health to your baby!!!
Since kidney function in children is relatively underdeveloped, and the younger the child’s age, the more pronounced this underdevelopment is, boric acid is most dangerous for young children and, in particular, for newborn babies.
Definitely see a doctor, if you’ve already been, go to another one. And ask how to restore intestinal flora after antibiotics. Otherwise the baby will be uncomfortable ((((
If at birth, then you have obstruction of the lacrimal canal. What kind of competent doctor has been treating you for six months? Go to another specialist for a referral to the ophthalmology department for probing of the lacrimal canal. this is a quick procedure. They came, took the child, 5 minutes - and went home.
A friend treated it with probing of the lacrimal canal... In general, if this has recently started, then rubbing it with tea may help, but you need to use old tea leaves that have been left for at least a day, and if you wash it with recently brewed tea, it will fester even worse, obviously black tea
It looks like an obstruction of the tear duct... It’s just useless to treat... And massage, in principle, is also unlikely to help... Don’t delay with probing either, it can only be done until a certain age without problems... And then with anesthesia, why do you need this....
Perhaps the baby has viral conjunctivitis, not bacterial, which is why antibiotics do not help. Conjunctivitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear outer mucous membrane of the eyes that covers the sclera and inner surface of the eyelids. There are three most common types of conjunctivitis: · viral · bacterial · allergic Viral conjunctivitis usually develops after an acute respiratory illness, cold or sore throat. Bacterial conjunctivitis is a consequence of damage to the conjunctiva by bacteria such as staphylococcus and streptococcus. As for allergic conjunctivitis, it manifests itself against the background of general allergization of the body. Quite often, allergic conjunctivitis depends on the time of year or the use of cosmetics, perfumes, and medications. Diagnosis of conjunctivitis begins with a slit lamp examination of the eyes. If bacterial conjunctivitis is suspected, a culture of the conjunctiva (scraping) is taken, which makes it possible to clarify the pathogen and its sensitivity to antibiotics. The main symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis are: · swelling of the conjunctiva · purulent discharge from the eye · redness of the eye · lacrimation · itching, pain, burning in the affected eye When treating bacterial conjunctivitis, eye drops and ointments are used, which contain broad-spectrum antibiotics. The following drugs are most often used: solution of furatsilin (1:5000), potassium permanganate (1:5000), rivanol (1:5000); 2% boric acid solution; 20-30% sodium sulfacyl (albucid); 10% norsulfazole solution; 0.25% solution of chloramphenicol; 0.5% gentamicin solution. Viral conjunctivitis usually affects both eyes at once and is manifested by: · profuse lacrimation · irritation and redness of the eyes · swelling of the conjunctiva · photophobia Treatment of viral conjunctivitis includes the prescription of antiviral drops and ointments, as well as drugs that help strengthen the patient's immune system. It is also recommended to take vitamins and microelements. Interferon solution used 6-8 times a day, 0.1% deoxyribonuclease solution 4-5 times a day are highly effective in the treatment of viral conjunctivitis. It is also possible to use Poludanum solution 4-5 times a day. A good result is achieved by treatment with 0.25-0.5% tebrofen, florenal, bonaftone ointments applied to the conjunctival area 2-4 times a day. The main symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis are: · itching · lacrimation · swelling of the eyelids In the treatment of allergic conjunctivitis, first of all, it is necessary to eliminate the allergen that triggered the development of the disease. If it is impossible to identify or remove the allergen, the patient is prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and antihistamine drugs in drops and tablets. If treatment has no effect, the doctor may prescribe steroidal anti-inflammatory drops. Correctly selected treatment usually results in complete recovery. Untimely or unjustified therapy can lead to the development of a chronic form of the disease, which is characterized by frequent exacerbations. In any case, treating a disease is always more expensive than preventing it. Therefore, you should adhere to the basic rules, the observance of which will help you avoid conjunctivitis: · wash your hands with soap more often · avoid swimming in contaminated waters · do not touch your face and eyes with dirty hands · use individual towels and disposable napkins instead of handkerchiefs.
Boric acid was removed from the Mother and Child Medicine Kit. But some pediatricians stubbornly continue to recommend it for treating the oral cavity and eyes of newborns. And it costs nothing for mothers, and especially grandmothers, to treat their child’s skin with a solution of boric acid.
Lord, the child has already been shown sounding. Have you seen an ophthalmologist? Do you know that there is such a thing as dacryocystitis? Dacryocystitis is an inflammation of the lacrimal sac due to congenital underdevelopment of the lacrimal ducts. It is a borderline state between a developmental anomaly and an acquired pathology. The first sign of dacryocystitis is the presence of mucous or mucopurulent discharge in the conjunctival cavity, lacrimation and mild conjunctival hyperemia. Often this condition is regarded as conjunctivitis. A severe complication of unrecognized dacryocystitis in newborns can be phlegmon of the lacrimal sac or orbit and fistula of the lacrimal sac. Dacryocystitis is distinguished from conjunctivitis by the presence of mucopurulent discharge from the lacrimal openings when pressing on the area of the lacrimal sac. Sometimes, after long-term previous treatment with drops, this symptom becomes uncharacteristic. Then the Vesta canalicular test, diagnostic lavage and probing of the lacrimal ducts are performed.
The cat is sick, help!

Why do you need to wash your eyes with conjunctivitis?
Washing is an important hygienic procedure that must be performed regularly for various types of conjunctivitis. Usually, the doctor recommends rinsing the eyes before each instillation of drops or use of medicinal ointments. What effect does washing have?
- Helps remove pus and mucus, prevent discharge from drying out and eyelashes from sticking together.
- Cleans the surface of the eyeball from contaminants and helps reduce the number of harmful and dangerous microorganisms.
- Increases the effectiveness of medications by reducing the number of microbes and speeds up the healing process.
- It can have an anti-inflammatory, calming effect if solutions with the appropriate effect are used for rinsing.
For conjunctivitis, it is permissible to rinse the eyes with clean water, a solution of potassium permanganate, boric acid, furatsilin, a decoction of chamomile and some other herbs.
Before using any of the solutions, you should definitely consult your doctor. One of the widely used eye washes for inflammation of the conjunctiva is saline solution.
