Why are the whites of my baby\’s eyes turning blue?

Question 1: Why are the whites of my 4-month-old baby\’s eyes a bit blue? Dr. Sun Cuiying’s answer: It’s generally fine. The sclera develops thinner in childhood, and there is a choroid (rich in pigment) under the sclera. Through the thin sclera, it looks blue from the outside. Generally, this phenomenon will disappear as the baby grows up. In addition, you can take your baby to check four anemia tests to see if there is anemia. A lack of iron in the body can also cause the sclera to become thin, thus showing a blue color. Question 2: My baby girl is 10 months and 5 days old. Her weight has been around 18 pounds. She has not gained weight for more than two months. She is about 75 cm tall and only has two lower teeth. The baby eats, sleeps and plays normally. Is there something missing? Why haven’t I gained any weight and my teeth are coming out slowly? Dr. Luo Zhen answered: The baby\’s development values ​​are normal, and the height and weight have reached the standards of a 12-month-old child. Teeth are also related to genetics, not a lack of trace elements. Just feed normally and add complementary foods. Pay attention to supplementing 400 units of vitamin D every day. Some babies grow quickly in the early stages, but may not gain weight for several months later. Every child is different, and it mainly depends on overall development. Question 3: The baby is 4 years old and has been clearing his throat for several months, with good and bad times. I checked at the clinic and found that there was nothing wrong with my throat or anything else. Do I need to go to the hospital for examination in this case? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: You need to go to the dental department to see if there is hyperplasia in the throat. If there is no problem, it is recommended to check the blood routine to see if eosinophils are increased. If it is increased, consider allergies.
