What if something goes into the child’s eyes?
1. Observation
See if the child’s eyes have abnormal conditions, such as redness and swelling or the presence of acne-like acne.
Step 2 Remove foreign matter
Turn up the child’s eyelids and take them out with clean wet cotton swabs.
It can also make children blink more and stimulate tears. Small foreign bodies may flow out with tears.
If you still don’t come out, use clean water (such as buying a bottle of mineral water), let the child tilt his head, let the eye entering the thing be under, flush it with running water, and blink constantly at the same time.
3. Seek medical treatment in time
If you can’t get out again, you need a doctor to help you.
In addition, if other abnormalities in the eyes are found, such as redness and swelling mentioned above, similar to the existence of acne, timely medical treatment is also required.
Common Mistakes about Intraocular Foreign Bodies
Rubbing your eyes with your hands-this is not right!
Don’t rub with your hands! Rubbing hands cannot remove foreign bodies, and may also bring bacteria into eyes, causing infection.
How to prevent intraocular foreign bodies?
STEP 1 Develop good hygiene habits
Do not let children pick eye excrement or rub their eyes with their hands to avoid infection or bringing in foreign bodies.
2. Protect yourself
Avoid going to places where foreign bodies will splash, such as factories, places under renovation or demolition. If you pass by, you can slightly cover it with clothes or hands to prevent foreign bodies from entering your eyes.
