Last year I was susceptible as well. I do have grandchildren and I know they have the ability to pass on infections easily but I’ve not seen the younger family for over a week of current. And of course I am always washing my hands during the course of a day.
I’ve been bathing my eyes with water and salt water and have been to the chemist for Brolene. Anyone got any home remedies to help ease the discomfort?
Thank you in advance for your contribution.
Answer:
Sounds like an allergy. Takes ages to find the cause if it is, a process of elimination.
My mum has something called blepharitis, cause unknown, but it's quite common. It's an imflammation of the eyelids. You need to bathe your eyes with cooled, boiled water, and use a soothing eye gel, on a regular basis. Your doc can send you for a check up for this.
Another recommendation if you want to try homeopathic remedies, is tabs called Euphrasia 6, by Weleda, you can purchase it in health shops. It stopped my conjunctivitus quite swiftly, although I'd been given creams, gels etc by the doc and had been suffering for almost 18 months. I went to the health shop in desperation, and I'm glad that I did.
Answer:
If you use make up you should throw it away after an eye infection…especially mascara, mascara should also be replaced each 4-6 months anyway.
Home remedies…Tea bags, make a cup of tea and remove the bag before milk and sugar. Place warm tea bag on eye…i've used them for all sorts of eye problems, if nothing else it soothes. Salt water wash as you’re doing is all that half the eye treatments are anyway so keep that one up.
It might be an idea to visit Dr, to rule out infections that brolene wont clear especially as youre having them repeatedly.
Answer:
Do you wear contacts? Good cleaning of the contact is essential to prevent continued infections. Also, you should probably throw out all of your makeup. You’re probably just re-infecting yourself.
Also, I would go to the physician and not try anything on your own. You only get one pair of eyes and I wouldn't be willing to risk home remedies on them. Get a professional view
Answer:
It could be an allergy to make-up or face cream etc My mum had recurrent eye infections this past year and it turned out to be an allergy to the fumes in paint! think about what you have done differently or used. Hope that helps!
Answer:
Wash your hands more often……you’re probably touching your eyes an awful lot without realizing it…….I don't think you should the water and salt combo……just get artificial tears and try not to bother your eyes too much
Answer:
The most basic advise is to meticulously wash your hands. If you rub eyes at all that is one source of direct contamination.
