Question

 

 

Hi,

My baby is 6 months and a few days ago she had a long hair in her eye. I tried taking it out with a cotton swab but she kept moving so I wasn't successful and I ended up pushing it to the bottom lid where I couldn't find it anymore. I have waited a few days to see if it appears again but I haven't seen it anymore.

She rubs her eye often. I am afraid I ended up pushing it to the back of her eye causing future damage. Please help!

Thanks

Thanks for your Question

I don't recommend to remove it by yourself. You should take your baby to an eye doctor so he can examine her and remove the hair properly.

Most likely the lash is out by now but double check with your doctor.
