Patient's question:
Last week I got a stye, and I thought it would go away after a while. But when I noticed it hadn't improved and had even worsened, I went to the hospital. The doctor prescribed medication for me and advised me to avoid certain foods when I have a stye. Could you please specify which foods I should avoid?Doctor's answer:
Styes are relatively common in daily life and are acute purulent inflammation of the sebaceous glands or tarsal glands near the eyelash follicles. From recurrence to inflammation to full recovery, styes require a certain period of time, which varies from person to person. The diet for styes should be light and include more foods like cucumbers and celery. It is necessary to avoid greasy, spicy, and high-sugar foods. Additionally, excessive medication should be avoided, and the affected area should be kept clean and hygienic. Drinking plenty of water is also important.
