What should I do if a pregnant woman has a stye in her eye?

Women will be emotionally unstable during pregnancy, and the weight of their belly will make it difficult for them to rest. With decreased resistance, bacteria are more likely to invade and the chance of developing sty is higher. Everyone knows that stye is a kind of eye infection. If the patient is not serious, he should apply ointment externally, and if the condition is serious, he should seek medical attention. Pregnant women are special and need to be more careful during treatment. Detailed introduction on what to do if a pregnant woman has a stye in her eye.

1. Use antibiotics

Antibiotic eye drops are very effective in treating styes, but because pregnant women are in a special period, antibiotics cannot be used casually. It is recommended to go to the hospital in time and take the medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Common antibiotic eye drops include tobramycin eye drops, erythromycin eye ointment, tetracycline eye ointment, etc. Regardless of which one, expectant mothers should take the medication under the guidance of a doctor.

2Surgical incision

Generally, whether it is an internal or external hordeolum, do not squeeze or incise it to drain the pus too early, so as to avoid further spread of inflammation or even cavernous sinus phlebitis or eyelid cellulitis. If an abscess has already formed, you can go to the hospital for incision and drainage. If it has ruptured naturally, it is also recommended to go to the hospital and ask the doctor to fully drain it to prevent the abscess from being drained poorly and never healing, or leaving scars and forming nodules.

3. Daily precautions

1) Make sure to get enough rest and avoid staying up late or being overly tired.

2) Pay attention to eye hygiene. Do not wipe your eyes with your hands or unclean tissues or squeeze out pus.

3) Eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, eat less sugar, avoid spicy, greasy, fried foods, and avoid smoking, drinking, and coffee; you can take cod liver oil appropriately.
