    To alleviate symptoms and speed up recovery, proper home care can be done. For example, use a warm towel every day to help the baby apply a warm compress to the eye area with styes to promote the discharge of pus and relieve the symptoms of infection. Be careful not to get too hot every day.

    Three or four times, 10 to 15 minutes each. You must pay attention to your child's eye protection, maintain hand hygiene, and don't rub your eyes habitually; Children have dirty hands, and bacterial infections are the most common cause of illness when rubbing their eyes. In addition, eat more green leafy vegetables and fresh fruits, supplement carrots, etc., so that children can improve their physical resistance.

    When pus is localized and accumulates, yellow pus heads appear, and external styes occur in the sebaceous glands at the base of the eyelashes, which are manifested on the ** surface; Internal stye occurs in the meibomian glands, manifests on the conjunctival surface, and the pain is relieved and the redness and swelling subsides after ulceration. If it affects the function of the eyelids, it is not good, and many children will produce eyelid entropion, or eyelid ectropion, which induces diseases such as cornea. In general, your child's doctor will recommend topical antibiotics such as tobramycin eye drops or ointment, or a combination of these.

    Children can apply eye drops every 1 to 2 hours during the day and ointment at night.

    External stye is inflammation of the sebaceous gland or hair follicle at the base of the eyelashes, manifested as localized redness and swelling of the eyelids, small induration, feeling pain or tenderness, and a yellowish-white pus head can be seen at the base of the eyelashes at the eyelid margin after a few days, and it heals quickly after cutting open to drain the pus or burst the pus on its own. Use an egg wrapped in a towel to apply a warm compress to the stye area (close your eyes and apply the egg to the outer eyelid of the stye), and probably continue to apply the warm compress until the egg temperature is not hot, so that it can heal about 3-5 times a day.

    Do not squeeze it or pick it with an unsterilized needle when it grows long, so as not to cause inflammation to spread, if the stye has suppurated, it needs to be cut open by the hospital to drain the pus, it is best not to let it collapse on its own, because it may form an irregular scar after self-ulceration.

The pathogenic bacteria of stye are mainly bacteria, the main type of bacteria is Staphylococcus aureus, which is very pathogenic, plus children to the eyes. If the protection is not enough, the eyes are not used properly, and the eyes are often tired and uncomfortable, so they will rub their eyes, which will make it easier to be infected with germs.

    1 First: If the child's eye is accidentally infected with germs and causes a stye, parents must give the child good care, at the same time, take good care of the child's eye hygiene, do not use dirty hands to rub the already fragile eyes, which will aggravate the condition and make the eyes more sensitive.

    2 Second: The main method for children suffering from stye is: the combination of drug and physical Tongmin, of which the drug is mainly eye drops with antibiotic eye drops, mainly floxacin eye drops and some eye drops of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, and the physical ** is mainly to use a hot towel to warm the eyes.

When there are other chronic diseases in the eye, it is necessary to actively cooperate**,Precautions

    The first method of stye: local hot compress to promote suppuration, light inflammation can also disappear completely after hot compress. Systemic and topical medications** can promote the loss of inflammation. Topical eye medicine can be applied, and children can apply eye ointment after falling asleep.

    The second method of stye: incision and drain pus, do not wait until it breaks by itself, which can reduce the pain of the patient and shorten the course of treatment.

    Experts remind: when the pus head appears, do not squeeze it by hand, because the eyelid is rich in blood vessels, the veins of the eye communicate with the intraorbital veins, and communicate with the cavernous sinus in the skull, and the ocular veins do not have venous valves, blood can flow back in all directions, squeezing will spread inflammation, causing serious complications, thus life-threatening.

    Also, do not rub your eyes with dirty hands to avoid bringing bacteria into your eyes and causing infection.

    Precautions after stye**.

    Experts also emphasized that the precautions after stye**: (1) Pay attention to eye hygiene, and put an end to bad habits such as wiping eyes with dirty hands and dirty handkerchiefs. (2) Pay attention to rest, don't stay up late, and don't overly strain your eyes.

    A stye is a common acute eye disease known medically as acute blepharadenitis, commonly known as "eye of the needle". Human eyelid glands are more numerous, grow deep in the eyelid tissue, and open at the eyelid margin. It is through the opening that bacteria enter the gland, causing purulent inflammation.

    Therefore, if you have a stye, you will experience local redness, swelling, and pain, just like boils in other parts of the body.

    The method varies depending on the time of day.

    There are different methods for the stye at different times. When a stye first appears, the stye can slowly subside with antibiotic eye drops and a local warm compress.

    If it is late, the induration and tenderness of the eye are more obvious, and the abscess in the induration is finally formed, and the use of antibiotic eye drops and local hot compresses is already ineffective, and surgical incision and drainage of pus are required, rather than allowing it to break down on its own. The surgery is incised in the direction of the ** line and gland, which will not damage the adjacent glands, and will not form "scarred eyes" and affect the appearance.

    If your child has a fever and the lymph nodes in front of his ears are swollen and tender, antibiotics are needed.

    Due to the large number of eyelid glands, it is possible that after one place is cured, it may occur again in other places, and the inflammation of the reverse birth is not on the same gland.

    Advice for parents.

    Pay attention to your child's hand and eye hygiene, wash your hands frequently, and don't let your child rub his eyes with dirty hands.

    Pay attention to your child's balanced diet and exercise appropriately to enhance your child's physical resistance.

    When your child has a stye, remember not to squeeze it because the blood vessels are closely related to the brain, and improper squeezing may cause intracranial infection.

    Once the child's eyelids are red and swollen, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time, and use medicine and warm compresses in time, so that the stye can subside as soon as possible and save the child the pain of surgery.

    Early moist heat compresses or rotational magnetic physiotherapy promote infiltration and absorption, or induration and rapid suppuration. Surgical incision, when the inflammation is controlled, the pus can accumulate to form a fluctuating sensation, the pus can be cut and drained, and the necrotic or granulation tissue can be properly cleaned, and the placement of drainage strips can be appropriately considered according to the situation. After the inflammation has resolved, if residual granulation tissue or induration remains, it can be surgically removed**.

    However, it should be noted that the ** incision of the external stye should be parallel to the eyelid margin, and the conjunctival incision of the inner stye should be perpendicular to the eyelid margin. Do not squeeze inappropriately to prevent inflammation from spreading to the orbital and intracranial areas, causing orbital cellulitis, cavernous sinus phlebitis, meningitis and abscesses that are life-threatening.

    Stye is an acute purulent infection of the sebaceous gland around the eyelash follicle, which is a relatively common eye disease in children, mainly because children are young and ignorant, and they like to cry, and often rub their eyes with dirty hands without washing their hands, so bacteria will take advantage of the weakness.

    3. Parents can also use acupuncture to ** the child's stye. Generally, the position of acupuncture is acupuncture on the baby's ear tip, Shangyang and other acupuncture points. Acupuncture should be done at each acupuncture point 1 time, and at least 1 2 drops of blood should be released from school, through bloodletting, the inflammation is forced out, and the baby is given acupuncture once every other day, insisting on about two weeks, it will generally have an effect, and acupuncture must also be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
