Patient's question:
Recently, I've been studying for a long time every day, and the workload has been heavy. It seems like I'm a bit irritable and have a slight fever. After reading books, I often go online, which has made my eyes slightly swollen in recent days. When I touch them, they feel a bit painful. What could be the reason for my sudden red eyes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, the situation you mentioned is likely conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis is mostly contagious through contact. It is recommended to wash your face with flowing water, and items like handkerchiefs should be kept separate from others and frequently washed and disinfected. Certain isolation measures should be taken for patients with contagious conjunctivitis. If only one eye is affected by conjunctivitis, it is important to pay attention to eye hygiene and avoid frequently rubbing your eyes. Those working in environments with strong winds, dust, smoke, or other irritants should improve the environment and wear protective eyewear to prevent conjunctivitis.
