Treatment of stye

The stye mentioned here is actually what people often call a stye. Stye is the medical professional name for a stye, but in people's minds, a stye seems to be easier to remember. Everyone is familiar with the disease of stye, and there are quite a few patients suffering from this disease. Stye is generally divided into two types: internal and external, both of which are purulent diseases of the eye. For patients with sty, they should pay attention to it in time after feeling eye discomfort. Generally speaking, internal styes do not have as strong symptoms as external ones.

Regarding the treatment of sty, most people have different opinions, and of course the results can be good or bad. For those who don’t know how to treat it, blind treatment will not only fail to cure the stye, but will easily aggravate the condition. So today I will talk about the treatment method of stye.

1. Early hot compress or magnetic therapy

Promote infiltration absorption or rapid suppuration of nodules.

2. Surgical incision

When the inflammation is under control and pus accumulates to form a fluctuating feeling, it can be drained by incision, and the necrotic or granulation tissue can be properly cleaned. Depending on the situation, placement of a drainage strip can be considered. After the inflammation subsides, if there is still residual granulation tissue or nodules left, surgical removal can be performed again. However, it should be noted that the skin incision of the external hordeolum should be parallel to the eyelid margin, and the conjunctival incision of the internal hordeolum should be perpendicular to the eyelid margin. Avoid inappropriate squeezing to prevent the inflammation from spreading into the orbit and cranium, causing orbital cellulitis, cavernous sinus phlebitis, meningitis and abscess, which may be life-threatening.

3. For stubborn and recurrent cases

Autoimmune therapy is available. Patients with systemic fever and swollen preauricular and submandibular lymph nodes can be treated with antibiotics.

Generally speaking, if you have redness and swelling around your eyelids and feel cold or feverish, you need to pay attention to whether you have a stye. Be sure to check in time to avoid delaying treatment of the disease.
