Patient's question:
Because I usually use my eyes a lot, and recently my eyes are very uncomfortable. They have been tearing for a month now, accompanied by conjunctivitis. I don't know if this situation is very serious. I haven't gone for treatment yet. SOS: What could be causing tearing for a month with conjunctivitis?Doctor's answer:
Trachoma is an infectious conjunctivitis and keratitis disease caused by chlamydia infection. Once detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delays in treatment that could affect vision. Typically, antibiotic eye ointments or eye drops are required for treatment. For acute or severe cases of trachoma, in addition to topical eye medications, oral medications may also be necessary for systemic treatment. During the treatment period, avoid sharing personal items with family members to prevent infection.
