Why are my baby's eyes swollen?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Multiple possibiliti: Swollen eyes are usually a reflection of irritation to the sensitive linings of the eyeball or lids. This can come from irritants, like house dust, smoke or soap, viruses, bacteria. It could be part of an allergic reaction or a rare systemic illness. If it doesn't seem to bother the kid & there is no buildup of pus or discharge, you can probably monitor the situation. If problems contact your dr.

Swollen eyes: When your baby comes home from the nursery his eyes may be swollen because of the antibiotic eye drops that were instilled in his eyes at birth to prevent disease.
