Question 1

i was told that putting a drop of milk in the eyes before going to bed would help in cleaning the eyes. is it true? would you advise that?

Accepted Answer

No: Most 'home remedies' will not cause harm but will also have little to no benefit as well. If you are having a problem, it is best to get evaluated by your doctor to determine if something is wrong.

Question 2

is it good to put milk in your eyes if you have red eye or pink eye?

Accepted Answer

No.: While milk can be soothing to an upset stomach, it is anything but to an upset eye. The eye has fairly narrow pH requirements to maintain healthy tissues and normal vision and while milk isn't nearly tithe worst thing you could put into your eyes it's not going to help any condition such as pink eye or any other condition that can be causing a red eye.

Question 3

is breast milk good for babies below 1 year for  applying on eye's regularly or any kind of infection  :) help me?

Accepted Answer

Breast milk: In some cultures breast milk is applied to the eyes for the treatment of conjunctivitis.

Question 4

there has a certain thing fallen in ny eyes. what can i do. should i put milk in my eyes?

Accepted Answer

: If you believe you have a foreign body in your eye best would be to have examined by your doc or at a local urgent care. They might be able to identify the problem or further coordinate through an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) office. Putting milk in your eye would not be a good idea.

Question 5

my 15 month old kid have redish skin under eyes. he is taking less milk in these days please giide me may be i have to change milk of baby.im using me?

Accepted Answer

Milk intake: Normal for toddlers to decrease milk intake as they eat more solid food.  Redness under eyes unlikely due to milk.  Follow up with doctor re eye redness.

Question 6

how can i get rid of milk spots under my eyes?

Accepted Answer

Milk spots: Are small cysts on the eyelids.  Typically if small, it's best to leave them alone.  If there are larger ones, they can be removed by an ophthalmologist.  You should be seen for an eye exam to discuss this further.

Question 7

is there any relation between bags under the eyes and a milk allergy?

Accepted Answer

Could be: Swelling around the eyes is a sign of inflammation, and can be due to many causes. Allergies can certainly be a cause.

Question 8

can breast milk soothe sore eyes?

Accepted Answer

Myth: I have seen this offered up as a treatment by many of the zealous pro-breastfeeding crowd. I have also seen plenty of evidence it is worthless for such a use. Breast milk should go into the infant it is designed to feed.

Question 9

can having a milk allergy cause circles to form under the eyes?

Accepted Answer

Usually no.: True milk allergy is due to allergic antibodies (ige) which causes a dramatic immediate reaction, itchy lips/mouth, throat tightness, nausea, vomitting, abdominal cramps, diarrhea, hives and in addition, stuffy nose and chest tightness. The reaction clears within 24 hours, so chronic circles under the eyes would not be due to milk allergy.

Question 10

is there any relation between puffy bags under the eyes and a milk allergy?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: Puffy bags under the eyes, while generally due to aging and family predisposition can sometimes be caused by allergies, though those are usually airborne in nature.
