Blepharitis Treatment:
Treatment of blepharitis involves keeping the eyelids clean and free of crusts. This disease is a common problem in both children and adults. It is usually just a part of the spectrum of seborrhoeic dermatitis that involves the ears, nasolabial folds, eyebrows, lashes, and scalp. If the blepharitis is severe, an eye care professional may also prescribe alternative medicine.
Specific blepharitis cure will be determined by your child’s physician based on:
- Your child’s medical history, overall health, and age
- The extent of the condition
- Your child’s tolerance for therapies, procedures, or specific medications
- Expectations for the course of the condition
- Your opinion or preference
Adequate Practices:
Blepharitis is not a serious condition, and it’s unusual to develop damage to your eyes.
- Unblocking the glands in the eyelid. This may be infected and inflamed, like acne on the face or a tiny boil by lid cleaning.
- Lubricating the eyes.
- Treating any infection present with antibiotic cream.
- There are new reports that flaxseed oil is very helpful.
- To treat infection and reduce the inflammation using antibiotic tablets.
- Steroids cream, which should only be used by ophthalmologists/expert professionals.
The blepharitis treatment should make your eyes more comfortable, but there is no magic antidote.
- You need to soften the debris and oils along the lid margin. To treat blepharitis, you can use a warm wet washcloth and apply it as a compress to the lids. You can do this for 5 to 10 minutes for about 2 to 4 times a day, depending on how severe the symptoms are. Use a bottle of hot water over the compress to keep the compress warm for a longer period of time. It is important to use a clean washcloth every time you clean your eyelids.
- You can use mechanical means to wipe off the lid margin debris. Once you are done using the compress, you can clean the eyelids using a cotton applicator stick that is soaked in an over-the-counter lid-cleansing product or a 4-is-to-1 mixture of baby shampoo and water. Gently and repeatedly rub the stick along the lid margins while the eyes are closed. Be careful to avoid scratching or rubbing your eyes.
A complete blepharitis cure may not exist. It’s a good idea to minimize the use of eye makeup, which can interfere with eyelid hygiene and massage treatments. If your doctor recommends an anti-dandruff shampoo for your scalp and eyebrows, make sure you keep the shampoo out of your eyes, to avoid irritation.
