What to do if something grows inside the upper eyelid

If we use our eyes more at a certain time, or eat too much chili peppers, it is easy to get a sore throat. Most people may get oral ulcers when they get a sore throat, but some people are prone to get pimples on their eyelids, especially inside the upper eyelids. In fact, this situation is usually caused by getting a sore throat, and the problem can be solved by correct treatment. So what should we do if something grows inside the upper eyelid?

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 may be more effective. Children can apply chloramphenicol eye ointment after falling asleep.

Make an incision to drain the pus, and do not wait until it breaks on its own. This can reduce the child'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.

Home remedies

Take plantain leaves and roast them over fire. After they become soft, apply them to the affected area of ​​the eyelid. The pus can be discharged, and then apply a little sesame oil.

Squeeze the peach kernels to extract the oil and apply it on the affected area.

Take 20 grams of the branches of the tiller, boil them with 500 ml of water, and use the juice to wash your eyes.

This article has clearly introduced the issue of what to do if something grows inside the upper eyelid. In addition, I would like to remind all friends that if this happens, you can use local hot compresses to cause suppuration. As long as the pus inside comes out, the thing will be easily eliminated. During this period, you must pay attention to eye hygiene to avoid bacterial infection.
