How to remedy eye pain during confinement?

During the confinement period, the mother must follow certain taboos in all aspects. For example, some cold foods or foods that may reduce milk production are not allowed to be eaten. Also, if possible, try not to go out to avoid being exposed to the wind. Moreover, during the confinement period, mothers may encounter some troubles. For example, some mothers may feel their eyes are particularly dry and prone to pain. How can this situation be alleviated?

1. Reasonable nutritional supplement

Vitamin A helps maintain the normal function of the cornea, can enhance the eyes' ability to see in the dark, and helps prevent the cornea from drying out and degenerating. Insufficient vitamin A in the human body can cause corneal dryness, tearing, photophobia and other phenomena. Therefore, to protect the eyes after childbirth, you can eat foods rich in vitamin A, such as lentils, lean meat, carrots, green leafy vegetables, etc.

2. Drink chrysanthemum tea

Chrysanthemum has good effects of improving eyesight, clearing heat, and nourishing the liver. When eye fatigue occurs, you can drink a cup of chrysanthemum tea, or you can lean over the cup and use the steam of chrysanthemum tea to fumigate your eyes for 2 to 3 minutes, which can relieve eye fatigue.

3. Take good care of your eyes

Mothers must get a good rest during the confinement period. Do not use their eyes for a long time, and do not play with mobile phones, watch TV, etc. for a long time. It is best to stand up and rest for more than ten minutes after using your eyes for 30 minutes continuously. You can close your eyes and relax, or look into the distance. This can effectively relieve eye fatigue.

4. Seek medical treatment

If the eye pain is caused by certain eye diseases (such as keratitis, conjunctivitis, iridocyclitis, etc.) or other systemic diseases, it is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible and do not use any eye drops at will.

5. Pay attention to eye hygiene

During the postpartum confinement period, you should also pay special attention to eye hygiene. When reading, using mobile phones or watching TV, you must keep a certain distance from your eyes. Do not read or use mobile phones in direct sunlight or dim light, and do not rub your eyes with unwashed hands.
