Can conjunctivitis heal on its own Can conjunctivitis be cured

Conjunctivitis is a very common disease in ophthalmology and is caused by a variety of factors, viral conjunctivitis is a self-limiting disease that heals on its own, but there are certain individual differences and healing times are indefinite.

The pathogenesis of conjunctivitis is mostly common infectious factors, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc.; In addition, some eye surgeries can cause reactive inflammation of the conjunctiva; Allergic factors are also a common cause of conjunctivitis, such as conjunctival inflammation caused by allergic factors, and the inflammation usually resolves spontaneously after the allergic factor is removed.

Whether conjunctivitis can heal spontaneously is related to various factors such as personal constitution, severity of lesions and pathogenic causes, due to viruses, conjunctival inflammation is mild, the patient's autoimmunity is strong, and there is no uncomfortable symptom of mild conjunctivitis. If the inflammation is severe and the patient's own resistance is weak, the inflammation may be prolonged. If the cause of the disease is known but difficult to remove, the inflammation is also difficult to heal, such as conjunctival inflammation caused by allergies to dust mites in the environment, which is difficult to remove due to allergic factors, so this inflammation is difficult to heal. If the inflammation of the conjunctiva is caused by a systemic disease or other disease, it is also more difficult for the conjunctivitis to heal spontaneously if the primary disease is not good**.

As many people know, conjunctivitis is a relatively common eye disease. Many patients, especially babies, have brought great troubles to their lives after suffering from conjunctivitis, and parents will also be very worried. But when it comes to conjunctivitis, many people don't know much about it.

So, does conjunctivitis go away on its own?

1. Can conjunctivitis heal on its own?

Whether conjunctivitis can heal on its own depends on the situation Generally speaking, neonatal conjunctivitis can heal on its own, so don't worry too much, just stick to scrubbing slowly with water. Allergic conjunctivitis can slowly heal as long as it is kept away from the allergen. However, most other cases of conjunctivitis can only be relieved with drugs to shorten the course of the disease, so the disease takes a certain amount of time.

2. What are the manifestations of conjunctivitis?

1. Increased secretions: Increased secretions are the main symptoms of conjunctivitis. This discharge can be divided into watery, viscous, purulent, mucopurulent and other categories, mostly white or yellow.

2. Conjunctival hyperemia: The conjunctival surface blood vessels dilate and cause congestion, which is diffuse or localized. The hyperemia is bright red, with some parts of the fornix being more pronounced, but the limbal hyperemia is lighter.

If your child's eye is not swollen at this time, there is no tenderness.

3. Mixed congestion: When conjunctivitis gradually spreads to the cornea, sclera, fascia and other parts, there may be a phenomenon of conjunctival hyperemia and ciliary hyperemia, so we call it mixed bleeding.

4. Subconjunctival hemorrhage: Subconjunctival hemorrhage is caused by the rupture of small blood vessels under the conjunctiva causing blood to enter the subconjunctival tissue, which is generally bright red dots or sheets, but if the amount of bleeding is more, it is not ordinary bright red, but dark red, and local bulges.

Whether conjunctivitis can heal spontaneously is related to **, and the specific circumstances are as follows: 1. Caused by weak virulent bacteria, sometimes it can be cured by tears or resting and sleeping; 2. Most conjunctivitis is infectious conjunctivitis, which can be cured with the help of a series of drugs, but it does not heal spontaneously; 3. Some chronic conjunctivitis is caused by dry eye syndrome, such as lack of sleep and excessive use of eyes, which can be relieved by proper rest, and can be cured by itself without drugs**; 4. For allergic conjunctivitis, it is necessary to take appropriate drugs to prevent the aggravation of the condition and even affect the cornea.

It depends on whether you are serious or not, but if you don't want to be blind, you still have to go to the hospital to see, you usually have to pay attention to eye cleanliness to prevent inflammation and severe, it is recommended that you use Hylou sodium hyaluronate artificial tears, its composition is similar to human joint lubricating fluid, there is no *** to the human body, it can be used to clean inflammatory factors, and it is also effective for conjunctival repair.

Apply antibiotic (chlortetracycline or tetracycline) eye ointment before bedtime.

Be confident, no problem. Pay attention to eye hygiene, apply anti-inflammatory eye drops during the day and erythromycin ointment at night for a week.

There are many types of drugs involved in conjunctivitis, eye drops are the most important drugs, and different types of conjunctivitis choose different types of eye drops or ointments. Therefore, if eye drops or ointment are used, it is necessary to determine whether it is infectious conjunctivitis and the causative agent that causes it under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid drug abuse. Bacterial conjunctivitis:

The use of antibiotic eye drops, before waiting for the results of the etiology, can be used topically, such as levofloxacin, tobramycin eye drops, and the use of sensitive antibiotics after the pathogen is identified, can effectively shorten the course of the disease, and the symptoms can disappear in about 1 week. When the disease is severe or infected with special pathogenic bacteria, systemic drugs and combination drugs can be selected. Viral conjunctivitis:

Topical eye drops containing antiviral drugs, such as ganciclovir or acyclovir eye drops, are chosen. Topical steroids (under the guidance of a doctor) may be considered in some patients, and tapered once inflammation has resolved. Allergic conjunctivitis:

Allergens can be diluted with artificial tears, and eye drops with antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, corticosteroids, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may be used to reduce eye symptoms. Corticosteroid eye drops are effective in relieving symptoms, and the frequency of use of eye drops should be gradually reduced after the condition is controlled, and the drug should not be stopped abruptly. Chlamydial conjunctivitis:

Topical neomycin, erythromycin, or tetracycline eye drops or ointments. Systemic antibiotics are often required in patients with acute or severe disease**. It should be noted that tetracycline should not be used in children under 7 years of age and pregnant women, and azithromycin or doxycycline is generally used in adults and children over 8 years of age, and erythromycin or amoxicillin is more common in pregnant women.

How can conjunctivitis be better? In my opinion, the main symptoms of conjunctivitis are bloodshot, redness and swelling of the eyes, and some are contagious. It is recommended that you can go to the ophthalmology department of the local public hospital first, and if it is infectious conjunctivitis, pay attention to isolation**.

General conjunctivitis is recommended to choose topical antibiotics, you can choose topical erythromycin ointment**, this can be anti-inflammatory and sterilized, the effect on conjunctivitis is good, if you are not allergic to penicillin, you can take amoxicillin capsules orally. You must pay attention not to rub your eyes with dirty hands and do not touch dirty things, because conjunctivitis is caused by bacterial or viral infection, and good personal hygiene can effectively prevent the occurrence of conjunctivitis. After the occurrence of conjunctivitis, it usually heals in two weeks, and there is not much need to worry.

1. Local**.

Flushing the conjunctival sac is mainly used for cleaning, and is commonly used in normal saline, 2% 3% shed acid solution, or 1:5000 1:10000 liter mercury (or potassium permanganate) solution.

Do not cover the affected eye Because there is a lot of secretions in conjunctivitis, if the affected eye is covered, the secretions are not easy to drain and accumulate in the conjunctival sac; And after masking, the temperature of the conjunctival sac will increase, which is more conducive to the reproduction of bacteria and aggravates conjunctivitis.

Topical medications: Antimicrobial or antiviral eye drops. According to the etiological diagnosis, the corresponding ** drug is selected. Silver nitrate can be used, the eyelids should be turned over when the eye is dropped, the eye fluid should be dropped on the palpebral conjunctiva, and the eye should be stopped for a while after the eye drops, that is, rinsed with normal saline, or a cotton swab dipped in a small amount of liquid medicine, applied to the surface of the palpebral conjunctiva, and then rinsed with normal saline.

2. Whole body**.

For severe conjunctivitis, such as gonococcal conjunctivitis, it is necessary to combine systemic medications**.

Can you be sure it's conjunctivitis?

Acute conjunctivitis, known as pink eye, is caused by certain viral or bacterial infections. It is divided into bacterial and viral.

Bacterial conjunctivitis: characterized by marked conjunctival hyperemia accompanied by purulent discharge, accompanied by foreign body sensation, burning and stinging, mild photophobia, etc., but vision is not affected. The discharge may be blood-colored, and a grayish-white membrane may be seen on the palpebral conjunctiva, which can be wiped off with a cotton swab but is easily regenerated.

When the patient sleeps at night, the discharge sticks to the upper and lower eyelids after waking up in the morning, and it is difficult to open the eyes.

Viral conjunctivitis: characterized by conjunctival hyperemia, edema, hemorrhagic spots, and watery or viscous discharge, accompanied by lacrimation and foreign body sensation. The cornea may interfere with vision due to the opacity of small white spots, or cause ipsilateral anterior lymphadenopathy to be swollen and tender.

Acute conjunctivitis is managed by eye irrigation with normal saline or a 3% boric acid solution, removal of secretions, and antibiotic eye drops. It should not be bandaged. The prevention of acute conjunctivitis is mainly to pay attention to eye hygiene, such as not rubbing the eyes with hands, and taking antibiotic eye drops after swimming to prevent infection.

Details can be found in the encyclopedia.

Go to the hospital for a check-up, according to the condition of the symptom ** is the best, really help you look forward to it.

Conjunctivitis is an allergic inflammatory reaction, most commonly in the limbal region or its translucent tissue, with small round grayish-white or yellowish round vesicular bumps the size of miliari, about 2 3 mm in diameter. The periphery of the vesicle is confined to congestion, and there is no pain when squeezed by hand, and after a few days, the nodular epithelium peels off, and a small ulcer forms at the top, which usually heals spontaneously.

Guidance: pink eye is a kind of conjunctivitis, pink eye can be self-healing or **, the course of the disease is mostly about 7 days (7-12 days), more than 14 days may turn into a chronic recovery period is slightly slower, generally in about 7-10 days to get better, complete recovery varies from person to person, now don't worry about it for the time being, if you want to get better faster, insist on using your eyes, regular review, and it will soon return to the previous one.

Conjunctivitis is the most common ophthalmic disease, which is due to the contact of the conjunctiva with a variety of microorganisms and the external environment, but the specific and non-specific protective mechanisms of the ocular surface make the conjunctiva have a certain ability to prevent infection and limit infection. However, when these defenses are weakened, or when the external hormone is enhanced, it will cause inflammation of the program tissues, which is collectively referred to as conjunctivitis.

In general, if a patient develops conjunctivitis, first ask to actively search for **, and then take symptomatic ** according to the patient's**. Generally speaking, the main method of conjunctivitis is to use topical eye drops to spot the eyes, and in general, patients can pass the symptomatic conjunctivitis. If a child develops conjunctivitis, will it heal on its own?

Depending on the patient's condition, for some specific types of conjunctivitis in children, then the patient does not need medication**. It may change the living environment, and it will heal itself.
