Conjunctivitis is an inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane (in other words, conjunctiva) that lines the eyelid and covers the white part of the eyeball. [1]
When small blood vessels in the conjunctiva become inflamed, they are more visible. Additionally, This is what causes the white of the eyes to appear reddish or pink. Also known as “pink eye”.
Moreover, Conjunctivitis resulting from irritation
Irritation from a either chemical splash or foreign object in the eye is also associated with conjunctivitis.
Lastly, Sometimes flushing and cleaning the eye is done to get rid of the chemical or object causing redness and irritation. [1]
May affect one or both eyes. Furthermore, Viral conjunctivitis usually produces a watery discharge. It can associate with colds or with symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as sore throat. Generally, It can spread through direct or indirect contact with the eye secretions of someone who’s infected. Lastly, Adults and children alike can develop both of these types of pink eye secretions of someone who’s infected.
It may affect one or both eyes. Specifically, Bacterial conjunctivitis produces a thick, yellow-green discharge. It can spread through either direct or indirect contact with the eye secretions of someone who’s infected. Adults also children alike can develop both of these type of pink eye secretions of someone who’s infected.
Allergic conjunctivitis affects both eyes and a response to allergens, the body produces an antibody call immunoglobulin E (in other words, Ig.E). Most allergic conjunctivitis can control with allergy eye drops. [1]
Microbes enter the eye on contact with infected objects that produce Inflammation of the eye also Dilation of blood vessels of eye that leads to Swelling, redness, exudates also discharge of eyes.[1]
To determine whether the patient have pink eye, the doctor will examine the eyes.
Take a sample of eye secretions from the conjunctiva for laboratory analysis if the patient has a very severe case of conjunctivitis, if the corneas are affected or if the person had repeated infections that are not responding to treatment.
In detail, If the infection is bacterial, the doctor may prescribe antibiotic eye drops as pink eye treatment, and the infection should go away within several days. Additionally, Antibiotic eye ointment, in place of eye drops, is sometimes prescribed for treating bacterial pink eye in children.
With either form of medication, expect signs also symptoms to start getting better in a few days.
There is no treatment for most cases of viral conjunctivitis. Instead, the virus needs time to run its course- up to two or three weeks. Viral conjunctivitis often begins in one eye and then infects the other eye within a few days. Moreover, The signs and symptoms should gradually clear on their own.
In brief, Antiviral medications may be an option if the doctor determines that the viral conjunctivitis is caused by the herpes simplex virus.
These may include medications that help control allergic reactions, such as antihistamines or drugs that help control inflammation, such as steroids and anti-inflammatory drops. [1]
Homeopathy treats the person as a whole. It means that homeopathic treatment focuses on the patient as a person, as well as his pathological condition. The homeopathic medicines are selected after a full individualizing examination and case-analysis,
A miasmatic tendency (predisposition/susceptibility) is also often taken into account for the treatment of chronic conditions. A homeopathy doctor tries to treat more than just the presenting symptoms.
The focus is usually on what caused the disease condition? Why ‘this patient’ is sick ‘this way’. The disease diagnosis is important but in homeopathy, the cause of disease is not just probed to the level of bacteria and viruses. Other factors like mental, emotional and physical stress that could predispose a person to illness are also looked for.
No, a days, even modern medicine also considers a large number of diseases as psychosomatic. The correct homeopathy remedy tries to correct this disease predisposition. The focus is not on curing the disease but to cure the person who is sick, to restore the health. If disease pathology is not very advanced, homeopathy remedies do give a hope for cure but even in incurable cases, the quality of life can be greatly improved with homeopathic medicines.
The homeopathic remedies (medicines) given below indicate the therapeutic affinity but this is not a complete and definite guide to the homeopathy treatment of this condition. The symptoms listed against each homeopathic remedy may not be directly related to this disease because in homeopathy general symptoms and constitutional indications are also taken into account for selecting a remedy.
