Patient's question:
Seven and a half months of swollen eyes and face, poor appetite, lack of energy, and diarrhea for three to five days, with the cause unknown. Previous treatment and its effectiveness: No treatment yet. What kind of assistance is desired: Want to know the cause...Doctor's answer:
Do you often feel drowsy, acidic, or puffy? Look around the light-emitting objects (such as lights) to see if there are colorful halos? Do you have a headache? If you have any of the above symptoms, it is recommended that you visit an ophthalmologist for a check-up to carefully examine whether your eye pressure is normal. If it is below the normal range, it could be glaucoma, and it is crucial to have surgery as soon as possible—do not miss the opportunity. Glaucoma is one of the three incurable eye diseases and should be taken seriously.If the pressure is normal, then get a urinalysis to check for protein in your urine and rule out the possibility of nephritis. If everything is fine, you don’t need to worry too much. Try to reduce the time spent staring at the computer, at least until your eyes recover. Eat more vegetables and fruits rich in beta-carotene, such as yellow, orange, and green ones. If possible, you can also buy a bottle of Amway beta-carotene. Additionally, you can steep some chrysanthemum and goji berry tea to drink. The liver is connected to the eyes, and insufficient kidney qi may cause swelling. This tea helps clear liver fire and nourish the kidneys. Alternatively, you can take Qiji Dihuang pills.
