Definition of style
Cereal swelling, also known as eyelid adenitis, is a common eye infection disease. It is usually caused by blockage or infection of the meibomian gland. Symptoms of sty include swelling, pain, redness and swelling of the eyelid, and possible abscess.
Hordeum can be treated in a variety of ways, including topical medication or surgery. But can people treat some mild cases of styloma with eye drops? The following will be elaborated from several aspects.
Types of eye drops
Eye drops are drugs that can be directly dropped into the eyes to treat eye diseases. Common eyedrops include antibiotic eyedrops, anti-inflammatory eyedrops and artificial tears.
Antibiotic eyedrops
Antibiotic eye drops can be used to treat eye problems caused by bacterial infections. It should be noted, however, that styloma is usually caused by infection of the meibomian gland, not bacterial infection. Therefore, antibiotic eye drops can not produce obvious effects on the treatment of styloma.
Anti-inflammatory eyedrop
Anti inflammatory eyedrops can help reduce inflammation and discomfort in the eyes. Although styloma is an eye infection disease, the use of anti-inflammatory eye drops can reduce the redness and pain of eyelids to a certain extent, but it cannot directly cure styloma itself.
Artificial tear
Artificial tears is a kind of medicine that simulates tears, and can help relieve dry eyes, trachoma, pain and other symptoms. For some mild cases of styloma, the use of artificial tears can reduce eye discomfort, but it cannot treat the styloma itself.
Limitations of eye drops in the treatment of styloma
Although eyedrops have played a positive role in the treatment of some eye problems, the effect of eyedrops on the treatment of stylosoma is limited.
Root cause of stylosoma
The main cause of styloma is the blockage or infection of the meibomian gland. If only eye drops are used to treat it, the problem of the meibomian gland cannot be solved. Eye drops can only temporarily relieve symptoms, but can not cure wheat swelling.
Local effects of eye drops
Eye drops usually only play a local role, and have obvious relief effect on the symptoms and problems on the surface of the eye, but the treatment effect on the infection of the deep tarsal gland and gland is very limited.
Cleaning of eye drops
When using eye drops, attention should be paid to keeping the eyes and hands clean. In addition, the reproduction of bacteria in the eye drops bottle is also a problem. If the contaminated eye drops are used, it may aggravate the symptoms of wheat swelling.
Other treatments for styloma
In addition to eye drops, there are other commonly used treatments for styloma, including local hot compress, surgery and antibiotic treatment.
Local hot compress
Local hot compress is to apply warm, damp and hot materials to the wheat swelling area to promote blood circulation, reduce swelling and increase the ability to expel pus. This simple treatment can help the spontaneous discharge of pus and alleviate symptoms of stylosoma.
surgical operation
Surgery may be required for severe or recurrent styloma. The operation usually involves incision to dredge the styloma, so as to drain the pus, and remove the pathological tissue of the meibomian gland.
antibiotic therapy
For the wheat swelling caused by bacterial infection, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics to treat inflammation and infection. Antibiotics can help inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, and promote the healing of stylosoma.
conclusion
In general, eye drops can not directly treat styloma, but in some mild cases, the use of anti-inflammatory eye drops or artificial tears may have a certain alleviating effect. However, local hot compress, surgical operation and antibiotic treatment are more effective treatments for severe or recurrent styloma.
Therefore, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time when treating stylosoma, and professional doctors should conduct comprehensive assessment and treatment according to the specific situation, so as to obtain better curative effect and rehabilitation effect.
