What are the symptoms of vesicular conjunctivitis in children?

Nowadays, babies have become the backbone of a family, and their health is of great concern to family members. Many families have only one child. The incidence rate among babies is very high, so many parents are very worried. Any disease should be detected in time. Follicular conjunctivitis mainly occurs in female children and young people. So what are the symptoms of follicular conjunctivitis in children?

Follicular conjunctivitis is an allergic inflammatory reaction, most of which occurs in female children and young people. Patients may experience mild eye discomfort in the early stages. When the lesions invade the cornea, symptoms such as photophobia, tearing, and eye pain may occur. Those that occur in the conjunctiva do not leave scars, while those that occur in the translucent part will leave scars after healing. Ulcers that occur at the edge of the cornea can gradually develop into fascicular opacities toward the center of the cornea. The conjunctival blood vessels also enter this fascicle and move toward the ulcer at the end of the fascicle. This is called fascicular keratitis.

In the local area of ​​the eye, congested lentil-sized protrusions can be seen on the conjunctiva or the edge of the cornea. They appear as purple-red localized nodules and are manifestations of vasodilation of the surface blood vessels of the sclera. The nodules are tender, which is due to irritation of the ciliary nerve. The nodules develop rapidly. After each inflammation lasts for several weeks, the nodules become flat and turn white. Finally, the inflammation completely subsides, leaving a slightly depressed surface, gray-black color and traces of adhesion to the conjunctiva.

As babies grow older, their range of activities expands, especially in spring and summer. Children develop red and itchy eyes after going out.
