Pregnancy is a happy thing, and expectant mothers will strengthen their nutrition to avoid affecting their children. However, at this time, their bodies are in a very weak stage, and it is easy for them to suffer from diseases. For example, some pregnant women may get red eye disease during pregnancy. So, what should pregnant women do if they get red eye disease?
Pregnant women with red eye disease can be treated using the following methods:
1. Apply cold compress appropriately. Pregnant women with red eye disease should not be treated with medication at will. In the early stages of the disease, local cold compress can be used to help alleviate symptoms. You can use a damp cold towel to apply cold compress to the eyes, or wrap a clean cloth around ice cubes for cold compress, which can have the effect of reducing swelling and redness.
2. Avoid light and heat. Pregnant women must pay attention to avoiding light and heat during the period when red eye disease has not improved. When going outdoors, it is best to wear sunglasses or a sun hat to reduce the stimulation of sunlight on the eyes. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent the eyes from being stimulated by external objects such as wind and dust. Do not force yourself to read books, and try to minimize the time spent facing electronic screens such as computers and mobile phones.
3. Maintain local eye hygiene. Red eye disease is mainly caused by inflammatory infections, so pregnant women need to maintain local cleanliness and hygiene. You can use specialized wet wipes every day to wipe the skin around the eyes and avoid touching too much with your hands to prevent the infection from worsening. In addition, regular use of physiological saline to scrub the eyes can have anti-inflammatory effects while cleaning.
