Bruises under the eyes of the child

A good indicator of a child's health is his skin, hair and fingernails, which instantly show their reaction to any deviations in the internal microclimate of the child and signal us that we must begin actions to change the child's life. The most reliable sign that the body is deteriorating is the bluish coloration in the periorbital eye area, which is often a sign of cutaneous thinning, through which blood vessels are clearly visible. But the blue in the eye area can also be from injuries caused by hemorrhages.


Bruises under the eyes and the reasons for their occurrence

The causes of the appearance of bruises in the eyes of children are:

  1. Getting a child from parents in a hereditary way. So, a child can inherit not only the color of hair and eyes, but also the predisposition to the appearance of bruises in the eye area. The child in such cases inherits such a quality as the thickness of the skin and the depth of the blood vessels. To treat such manifestations is not necessary, it is just necessary for the child to carry out general restorative procedures and to correctly organize sleep and nutrition regimes. Obligatory and taking vitamins.
  2. If the child is quickly tired, the reason for this can be loads in the school. The child, tired of the lessons, still does not rest at home, because you want to have time - and sit around the computer, and make lessons, and watch TV. Many of the children spend their leisure time sitting by the monitors, not realizing that it would be much more useful to get some fresh air. All this depletes the protective functions of the body, which is often the cause of skin discoloration, i.e. there is pallor, dryness. The skin becomes thinner and becomes as it were transparent, through it the blood vessels shine through, and the bruises under the eyes are the consequence of this. In such cases, organize the child's regime correctly, make sure that for a school assignment, and for walking in the air, and for physical education, there is a separate time. It is desirable to spend the day off in the country, in the forest or near the river.
  3. Dysfunction in the diet and the presence of vitamin deficiency. Present children prefer to have a snack with food that is full of carcinogenic substances, without thinking that it is very harmful. And parents do not pay attention to this for some reason. Of course, it's much easier to put a package of chips in a portfolio, than to explain to him that it's more useful to eat an apple or a pear. Often adults prefer culinary processing of vegetables, without thinking about the fact that it is much more useful to use these products in their raw form. Do not forget that after lying in the refrigerator for a few days, the vegetables lose their qualities. Similarly, it occurs when slicing - vegetables lose part of the vitamins, because of this, the salad should only be eaten freshly cut. Be interested in the child, let him help you prepare some dishes, which are desirable to make out so that they evoke appetite by their appearance. In the summer and autumn, at a time when a large abundance of fruits and vegetables, do not save on your child, spoil it with berries, pears and all that gives summer heat. And in winter, organize a garden near the window, let the child grow a green onion or dill there.
  4. Violation of the regime of the day. Without fail the child must sleep at night and in the daytime, then the vital activity of the body will be normal. Without getting enough sleep, the child's organism will begin to exhaust its compensatory mechanisms. And the result of overwork will be the first signs of the appearance of bruises under the eyes, for the disappearance of which it is necessary to bring the child to sleep. Normal is considered if the child sleeps 9 hours, and children under the age of nine must fit into a nap, for at least one hour. Another important recommendation - two hours before bedtime, do not overload your child with physical exertion, referring to games or running. In the evenings a child should play in quiet and inactive games.
  5. The cause may be anemia. When the iron content in the body decreases, this immediately becomes noticeable on the skin of the child, which is primarily responsible for the lack of iron. The skin becomes dry and pale. The blue shade under the eyes appears much earlier than the changes in blood (a decrease in the level of hemoglobin). If there is a suspicion of the development of anemia, immediately make a biochemical and general blood test. The general analysis will give an indication of a decrease in hemoglobin, but if the child has a latent anemia at which iron deficiency can occur in the body, activating iron from reserves, then a change in the general blood test may not occur. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a biochemical analysis in order to elucidate the activation of the compensatory properties. After the diagnosis is made, the doctor prescribes the treatment.
  6. One of the reasons may be helminthiases. Parasitizing worms in the body do not have the best effect on the child's appetite. In these cases, the child eats a very large amount of food, as if saturating himself and the parasites living in his body. Helminins also interfere with the absorption of vitamins, which can also cause bruises. In addition, the child often complains of pain in the umbilical region of the abdomen. To clarify the diagnosis, you need to urgently perform an analysis of feces for egg-yoggers and take a smear for the presence of enterobiasis.
  7. Trauma injuries can also cause bruising under the eyes, for example, a stroke in this part of the face or a fracture of the nasal bone. Such bruises are one-sided and two-sided. The cause of the appearance of bruises in this case is a hemorrhage in the eye region.

Adherence of the child to cyanosis in the otagloss region, it will be more correct to get to the clinic for the delivery of tests and further examination. To get hold of always on the alert, as bruises under the eyes can be a sign of a fairly heavy disease. Only a doctor can diagnose and prescribe the right treatment.
