Red eye disease is the most common eye disease among people. After suffering from red eye disease, the conjunctiva of the eyes will become congested and red, causing discomfort such as foreign body sensation, itching, and tears. Once you suffer from red eye disease, you need to treat it immediately, otherwise it may cause other complications. So can children's red eye disease be contagious? Below is a detailed introduction for everyone.
Can children be infected with red eye disease?
Red eye disease is highly contagious, so children who suffer from red eye disease can transmit it to others. Red eye disease is caused by viral infection and can occur throughout the year, with a higher incidence in spring and summer. Both children and adults can suffer from red eye disease, especially children with low immunity, and the probability of contracting red eye disease is higher.
What should I do if my child has red eye disease?
Children who suffer from red eye disease must be isolated to avoid infecting others and not allowed to come into contact with other children. Children with red eye disease need timely treatment. Western medicine requires antiviral drugs to treat red eye disease, while traditional Chinese medicine uses traditional Chinese medicine to dispel wind, relieve itching, clear heat and detoxify. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine will have a better effect.
During the spring and summer seasons, it is important to pay attention to preventing red eye disease, avoid crowded places, and wash hands after going out and returning home. If there are patients with red eye disease at home, they should separate the daily necessities they use.
