Patient's question:
Recently, the weather has suddenly dropped, and I caught a pretty severe cold. It finally started to get better, but now my eyes have started to twitch and are swollen. My roommate said it might be conjunctivitis and suggested I use some eye drops. Before they start using them, I wanted to ask if a cold can cause conjunctivitis?Doctor's answer:
A cold can cause viral conjunctivitis symptoms, most of which are caused by the spread of viral infections. It is recommended to use antibiotic eye drops, such as levofloxacin hydrochloride, for treatment. In the future, pay attention to eye hygiene, strictly prohibit touching the eyes with hands, supplement nutrition, enhance physical exercise, stabilize the body, maintain sufficient deep sleep, and boost immunity to prevent the recurrence of the disease.
