Description
Conjunctivitis,
also known as "pinkeye," is an acute inflammation of the
conjunctiva
of the eye, which is a thin protective lining of the eyelids and
eyeball. It
is caused by bacterial or viral infection or an allergic sensitivity
to an
irritant.
Symptoms
The eye
appears red and bloodshot, and there is often lots of watering and
a clear or
purulent (pus) discharge, depending on whether the infection is
viral or
bacterial. The eyelids are usually swollen. Intense itching occurs
with
allergic conjunctivitis. The eye feels irritated and painful, and there is
a burning
sensation or a feeling that something is in the eye.
Complications
Conjunctivitis
may become chronic or may damage the eye if left untreated.
Homeopathic Medicine
1. If the main symptom is puffy swelling
of the eyelids, give Apis.
2. I For conjunctivitis in newborns, think of
Argentum nitricum.
3.I When
fever, redness,and throbbing pain are prominent, Belladonna is the medicine.
4. I If
the main symptom is excessive, irritating tears, give Euphrasia.
5.I If
the discharge is thick, creamy, and yellow-green in a whiny, moody person,give
Pulsatilla.
6. I If
burning in the eyes is prominent in a lazy, philosophical egotist, give Sulphur.
