What to do if there is something rubbing against your upper eyelid?

In daily life, if you feel a foreign body on your eyelid or something is rubbing against it, you can use some symptomatic eye drops to relieve the symptoms. Generally, this symptom is caused by dry eyes. Of course, conjunctivitis cannot be ruled out. Conjunctivitis is a highly contagious eye disease. If you often swim in public swimming pools, you may be infected.

What to do if there is something rubbing against your upper eyelid?

1. Conjunctivitis is mostly transmitted by contact, so to prevent conjunctivitis, you should encourage washing your hands and face frequently or not wiping your eyes with your hands or sleeves. The washbasins, towels, handkerchiefs, etc. used must be kept separate from those of others and should be boiled and disinfected regularly to prevent infection of others. Patients with infectious conjunctivitis should be isolated and are not allowed to swim in public swimming areas. Medical staff must also wash and disinfect their hands after contact with patients to prevent cross infection. If conjunctivitis develops in one eye, the patient must be advised to protect the healthy eye from infection. In case of severe infectious conjunctivitis, you can cover the healthy eye with a transparent eye patch, seal the surrounding area with band-aid, and pass a small rubber tube through the bottom outside to allow air circulation. This also makes it easier for the doctor to observe whether the healthy eye is diseased. Conjunctivitis can often be widespread or outbreak-like, but not all cases are contagious. Most conjunctivitis is caused by infection with pathogenic microorganisms.

2. Some other conjunctivitis, such as spring catarrhal conjunctivitis and conjunctivitis caused by physical and chemical injuries, are not contagious. Healthy people will not be infected with conjunctivitis after contacting patients with this type of conjunctivitis, so there is no need to prevent cross infection. 3. Those who work in an environment with a lot of wind, dust, smoke, heat and other stimuli should improve the environment or wear protective glasses to prevent conjunctivitis. Health publicity, regular inspections and strengthened management should be carried out in public places.

What to eat to prevent

1. Patients with conjunctivitis should eat more foods that have the effects of clearing heat, promoting dampness and detoxifying, such as purslane, wolfberry leaves, wild rice stem, winter melon, bitter melon, mung beans, water chestnuts, bananas, watermelons, etc. 2. People with conjunctivitis can take vitamins every day. Vitamins help to disperse Bitot's white spots, which may be caused by vitamin deficiency. 3. Conjunctivitis protects the eyes from further inflammation and also promotes tissue recovery. Vitamin C should be supplemented. 4. People with conjunctivitis should eat light, easily digestible and nutritious food, such as lean pork, pork liver, rabbit meat, lamb, etc. Eat more fresh fruits, such as bananas, pears, apples, cantaloupes, grapes, star fruits, longan meat, etc.

Warm reminder: we must be careful not to rub our eyes with our hands, because this may cause the bacteria on our hands to be transmitted to our eyes, thus affecting the health of the eyes. The occurrence of conjunctivitis has caused serious harm to the patient himself. In order to better treat the disease, we must strengthen the care of eye hygiene and cleaning, especially not swimming in public swimming areas. Medical staff need to take protective measures and correctly help patients with conjunctivitis to treat them.
