Patient's question:
The child has been saying that their eyes itch. When looking at the blackboard at school, the words were still unclear and blurry. We gave them some eye drops, but it didn't improve. When they went to the hospital for an eye examination, they were told they had optic neuritis. We are very worried but also not very knowledgeable about it. We want to consult a doctor on how to treat optic neuritis.Doctor's answer:
Optic neuritis can be relieved, but a complete recovery requires slow treatment. Patients should take nerve nutrition drugs while actively treating the primary disease, which has a good therapeutic effect. Rest is important during the day, ensuring sufficient deep sleep and maintaining a cheerful mood. Maintain a balanced diet with a mix of coarse and fine grains, eat more fruits and vegetables, and follow a low-salt, low-fat, and low-cholesterol diet. Avoid spicy and other irritating foods, and quit smoking and drinking.
