The child has a bag under his eyelid

The main clinical manifestation of stye is edema of the eyelid skin, accompanied by local redness, swelling and pain. If a child has a lump on his lower eyelid and it is painful, it does not rule out the possibility that he has a stye. Because children have weak body resistance and their eyes' ability to defend against external bacteria is relatively low, they are very likely to suffer from diseases such as styes due to bacterial invasion.

This disease can be treated with both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine. Western medicine generally uses surgical treatment, mainly to remove the lesions. Postoperative recovery is also a critical process, and attention should be paid to eye protection.

Here are some treatment methods from traditional Chinese medicine. You can boil honeysuckle, forsythia, mint, licorice, saposhnikovia divaricata, reed root and other herbs into water and use it daily. This method is mainly used to treat redness, swelling, pain and fever in the eyes. This method mainly has the effect of dispelling wind and clearing away heat.

You can also boil pangolin, gardenia, forsythia, coptis, angelica, red peony root, rhubarb and other drugs into water and take it daily. This method is mainly used to treat red and swollen eyes that cannot be opened, accompanied by dry mouth, fever, constipation, etc. This method has the effect of purging heat and detoxifying.

How effective are antibiotics in treating styes?

Stye is a bacterial infection, and when treating bacterial infection, you need to use antibiotics to treat it. This is necessary. Although antibiotic treatment is not good for the body, the effect is indeed good as long as the dosage is strictly followed.

If you are worried that antibiotics may harm your child, it is recommended that you use penicillin for symptomatic treatment. When treating your child's disease, you can also choose intramuscular or intravenous injection. It is very effective against pyogenic bacteria.

As for this antibiotic, the impact on children will be greatly reduced as long as it is used under the strict requirements of a doctor. However, do not blindly give children antibiotics. When the stye is serious, the use of drugs is useless and surgical treatment is required.

What are the early treatments for stye?

Eyes are the windows to our soul, allowing us to see this beautiful world. But if we have an eye disease, no matter how serious it is, it will have an impact on us. If early symptoms such as stye are discovered, they must be treated in time, otherwise they will become more and more serious.

For the initial treatment of stye, we can use warm water at about 45 degrees and apply a hot towel to the affected eye to speed up blood circulation in the affected eye, which can help eliminate and relieve inflammation. If the condition is relatively mild, it may be cured after a few hot compresses.

For early stage granuloma of wheat, we can also treat it with medication. You can take Mingmu Shangqing Pills orally, use some chloramphenicol eye drops during the day, and use erythromycin eye ointment at night. If these medicines are used together, the stye condition can be relieved quickly.

Note:

Patients with stye should pay attention to their eye hygiene and avoid rubbing their eyes with their hands. Also pay attention to your diet and avoid eating spicy and greasy foods to avoid irritating the eyes and causing inflammation. You should also exercise properly to improve your physical fitness. I wish you a speedy recovery!
