What should I do if pustules grow on my eyes

As the saying goes, "eyes are the windows to the soul", which shows that eyes occupy a very important position in the human body. After all, people cannot live without their eyes in daily life, so once there is a problem with the eyes, it will cause great trouble to many people. Among them, some people develop pus-filled eyes due to physical inflammation or excessive eye use. It really brings a lot of trouble to life, so let’s find out what to do if pustules grow on your eyes?

Local hot compress: Local hot compress can promote suppuration, and mild inflammation can also disappear completely after hot compress. Systemic and local antibiotic treatment can promote the disappearance of inflammation. Penicillin antibiotics can be taken orally, injected intramuscularly or intravenously, and they are very effective against pyogenic bacteria. Eye drops can be applied topically, generally 0.25% chloramphenicol eye drops are sufficient. If there is a lot of secretion, rifampicin eye drops can be used for better results. Children can apply chloramphenicol eye ointment after falling asleep.

Incision and drainage: Do not wait until it breaks on its own. This can reduce the patient's pain and shorten the treatment period. When pus heads appear, do not squeeze them with your hands, because the eyelids are rich in blood vessels, the ocular veins are connected to the veins in the orbit, and to the cavernous sinus in the skull, and the ophthalmic veins have no venous valves, so blood can flow back in all directions. Squeezing them can spread the inflammation and cause serious complications, such as orbital cellulitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis, and even sepsis, which can be life-threatening. Do not rub your eyes with dirty hands to avoid bringing bacteria into the eyes and causing infection.

Although stye is a small disease, it is very annoying and painful. There is no good medical treatment. Wiping the roots of the eyelashes with an alcohol cotton ball is very effective. The method is: when the disease begins - eyelid itching, redness, swelling or pain appear, immediately wipe the eyelashes with an alcohol cotton ball. Keep your eyes closed when wiping, and use an alcohol cotton ball (not too wet, squeeze out some alcohol if it is too wet) to gently rub back and forth at the root of the eyelashes a few times.

When you find that you have a stye, timely treatment before the abscess forms can quickly relieve the symptoms. If you wait until the abscess has formed, you can only let the pus head appear and then make an incision to drain the pus. After being ill, pay attention to keeping your eyes clean and do not rub your eyes with your hands to avoid making the condition worse.

After reading the above content, you will know that pustules in the eyes may be caused by the disease of stye. Because of the importance of eyes, everyone needs to pay attention to this issue. Therefore, we must pay attention to the combination of work and rest in life, and do not overuse our eyes, so that we will not get pustules due to eye fatigue.
