Patient's question:
I am a boy. Health-wise, I'm quite good. I haven't eaten anything dirty. I don't play addictive games. I go to sleep and wake up at fixed times. Why does a four-year-old child always get boils?Doctor's answer:
A sty is medically known as "hordeolum." It is caused by bacteria invading the glands around the eye and face, leading to localized purulent inflammation. Initial treatment with oral antibiotics or antibiotic-containing eye drops can sometimes control the inflammation. However, if the gland openings are blocked, it may lead to abscesses and swelling. In such cases, surgical incision is necessary to treat the abscess and prevent recurrence of the sty. On the one hand, it is important to improve overall health and nutritional conditions, avoiding excessive consumption of high-fat, high-sugar foods, and ensuring a balanced diet.
