A few days ago, when the child woke up, he pointed to his eyes and said: Mom look fast, it hurts.
When I looked, I found that the baby's eyes were indeed red and swollen, and the upper eyelids looked like small acne.
At this time, Grandma also came over and said, "Oh, this is the eye of the needle."
Later, we went to a nearby hospital, and the doctor prescribed tobramycin eye drops to use, and after three or four days, it was basically fine.
We say "needle eye", also known as stye or blepharitis, is a very common disease in ophthalmology clinics, mainly the glands inside the eyelids, due to bacterial infection and acute purulent inflammation, the general onset is relatively rapid, two or three days may be on the eyelid bulging a lump, the eyelids are still red and swollen, the pain sensation is also more obvious.
If the meibomian gland is inflamed, a relatively large abscess (an induration is felt inside the eyelid), called an internal stye; if the sebaceous gland at the base of the eyelashes is inflamed (usually manifested as a small packet near the root of the eyelashes), the lesion area will be relatively small and superficial, called the external stye.
For the treatment of stye, adults can generally drop levofloxacin eye drops and eye ointments, and children use tobramycin eye drops and eye ointment more clinically.
Generally, if it has not been absorbed after two weeks of medication, it is necessary to go to the hospital for surgical resection.
note!
Styes don't squeeze!
Because there is no venous flap in the eyelid and facial veins, if squeezed hard, it may lead to bacteria entering the blood, resulting in orbital cellulitis, cavernous sinus phlebitis, sepsis, etc., which can seriously endanger life.
Some parents ask:
If the eyes are red and swollen, it must be stye?
It is found that the eyes are red and swollen, and may also feel pain, and sometimes there are secretions, which is more common in addition to stye, and more common is acute conjunctivitis.
Acute conjunctivitis is relatively high in spring and summer, and can occur in one eye or both eyes. It generally presents with conjunctival hyperemia, edema, and secretions, often infectious.
It is not too difficult to distinguish between stye and acute conjunctivitis:
If the main manifestation is swollen eyelids and a mass can be felt on the eyelid, then stye is more likely.
If redness of the white eyeball is the main manifestation, and the discharge is obvious, but the eyelid swelling is not serious, then acute conjunctivitis is more likely.
For the treatment of acute conjunctivitis, medication should pay attention to distinguishing between bacterial infection and viral infection (if bacterial infection, the eye feces will be particularly large, and yellow; if the virus is infected, the secretion is relatively thin and watery).
If the symptoms do not improve after a week of medication, but worsen, especially if there is also a fear of light, vision loss, etc., you need to see a doctor immediately.
Kangaroo Ma Ma has something to say:
Whether it is stye or acute conjunctivitis, early detection, scientific response, generally they can not turn over much wave, parents do not have to worry too much, but do not ignore, once the situation is serious, follow the doctor's advice to deal with it in time.
If you want to stay away from the troubles they bring, you should pay attention to washing your hands frequently, don't rub your eyes, and develop good hygiene habits.
