Thanks ladies

They seem to have come right (her right eye mostly).
I did what you both suggested with the cool water - she seemed to enjoy it

And yes, the wax stinks like lighter fluid
Unfortunately, it's working on her eczema, so I'm keeping it up. ]]> Sun, 05 Oct 2008 19:22:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21451&PID=509494&title=puffy-eyes#509494 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21451&PID=509422&title=puffy-eyes#509422 Author: Mama2two

This looks like Sam's does right before conjunctivitis erupts. She rubs them alot before hand. I would be putting it down to the wax though. ( I hate that stuff - it smells awful)

I would try giving them a wipe with some cooled boiled water on a cotton ball. No matter what it is this will be soothing for her ]]> Sun, 05 Oct 2008 17:03:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21451&PID=509422&title=puffy-eyes#509422 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21451&PID=509408&title=puffy-eyes#509408 Author: Shezamumof3

could she have rubbed it into her eyes? They look as though they are irritated.
Gosh she has gorgy eyes charly!!!!

Um maybe try and bathe her eyes in some cold water on a flannel? I get irritated eyes like that from my hayfever and water soothes them and takes away the puffiness.]]> Sun, 05 Oct 2008 16:42:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21451&PID=509408&title=puffy-eyes#509408 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=21451&PID=509244&title=puffy-eyes#509244 Author: BugTeeny

Hannah woke up this morning with very sunken eyes. I put it down to dehydration.
They looked a little better after some milk and a drink of water.
Once she woke from her morning nap they were sunken and red (not the eyes themselves, underneath) and a little raw looking.
She seems just as chipper as usual - no weird or out of character behaviour.
She HAS been rubbing them both quite a bit though.
The only thing I can put it down to (that's different to usual) is some parrafin wax that we've been prescribed this week for her eczema.
DH put a little on her face last night...
Has anyone else had this happen?
Or know what else it could be?
Obviously, I'll take her to the doctor if it hasn't cleared up by tomorrow...
