Patient's question:
I am a boy, and I am quite good in terms of hygiene. 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," which is caused by bacterial invasion into the glands around the eye and face, leading to localized purulent inflammation. Initial treatment with oral antibiotics or antibiotic-containing eye drops may sometimes control the inflammation. However, if the gland openings are blocked, resulting in abscesses and swelling, surgical incision treatment for the abscess is necessary to prevent recurrence of the sty. On the one hand, it is important to improve the body's condition and nutritional status, avoiding excessive consumption of high-fat, high-sugar foods, and ensuring a balanced diet.
