Eye Hospital Night Clinic
Treated three children with acute conjunctivitis in one hour
A class in a kindergarten in Haizhu District, Guangzhou
Ten children were recruited successively
Recently, the reporter learned from ophthalmology departments of many hospitals in Guangzhou that
Patients with acute conjunctivitis commonly known as "pink eye"
The recent increase in the number of patients
Most of the "recruiters" are toddlers and school-age children
"During this period, the number of children with acute conjunctivitis encountered in the outpatient clinic has increased significantly, especially in the emergency department at night, and sometimes six or seven children with red eyes, swollen eyes, eye pain, or yellow gum in the corners of the eyes will be encountered one after another. "Wen Xin, deputy chief physician of the Ophthalmology Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, reminded that parents should remind their children to take precautions.
" If a child has pink eye disease, he must not 'self-medicate'! " He said that after the onset of the disease, he should go to the ophthalmology doctor as soon as possible.
Received three children with pink eye in one hour
At around 8:00 p.m. on June 25, three children with pink eye disease came to the emergency ophthalmology clinic of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University within an hour.
"There are quite a lot of children with acute conjunctivitis during this period!" Dr. Zhao, who was on duty in the emergency department, said with emotion that most of the recruits recently were young children with poor hand hygiene habits. When some children go to see a doctor, their little hands are still touching the table in the consulting room one moment, and the next moment they rub their eyes with lightning speed, driving the accompanying parents crazy.
Wen Xin, deputy chief physician of the Ophthalmology Department of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, pointed out that acute conjunctivitis, commonly known as "pink eye disease", is an eye disease caused by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms infecting the eyes, causing redness of the conjunctiva, eye pain, eye swelling, tearing, and increased eye mucus. Affects one or both eyes.
Bacterial conjunctivitis accounts for the majority of recent admissions in children. "In addition to the symptoms of eye redness, eye swelling and pain, generally speaking, acute conjunctivitis caused by bacterial infection is often manifested as yellow secretions in the corners of the eyes. After viral infection, more transparent watery secretions appear. "
Wen Xin pointed out that symptomatic treatment can only be done after an accurate diagnosis by an ophthalmologist. It is usually said that "acute conjunctivitis is highly contagious by contact", which is not a "patent" of viruses. Some bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus are also highly contagious, and we need to pay attention to prevention.
Don't rush to play in the outdoor pool after it rains
"The children who have been treated in our department recently have three main causes of disease: swimming in a swimming pool with insufficient water, and dirty water entering the eyes; directly wiping sweat and eyes with hands after exercise, allowing pathogens to enter the room; and weakened immunity. , It affects the eyes before and after the fever of a cold."
Wen Xin said that there has been a lot of rain in Guangzhou recently. If you go swimming in an open-air swimming pool right after it rains, the risk of bacterial conjunctivitis will increase because the water in the pool is relatively turbid. Parents should choose a swimming pool with better disinfection. They can use tobramycin eye drops or levofloxacin eye drops for protection after swimming.
"In the near future, we should pay attention to the relationship between influenza and acute conjunctivitis. For example, some children will develop viral conjunctivitis after getting influenza; others will feel pain and discomfort in the eyes, and fever, headache, and sore throat will appear after a few days."
Wen Xin reminded that for children who do not have yellow secretions in the corners of their eyes but have red eyes, eye pain and other symptoms, parents should be alert to the possibility of their children's respiratory tract being affected, reduce the chances of children going to crowded places and need to wear masks when going out. At ordinary times, you should pay attention to improving your child’s immunity, work and rest regularly, prepare a towel to wipe sweat during exercise, and change soaked clothes in time after exercising and sweating to avoid wind and cold.
Compared with elementary schools, kindergartens are more likely to be recruited one after another. Therefore, in addition to parents and teachers reminding children to clean their hands in time and not to rub their eyes with their hands, when a sick child appears in the class, they should be advised to rest at home to reduce the risk of transmission. Disinfect and dry. Artificial tears don't cure conjunctivitis
Standardized treatment and more rest
Wen Xin reminded that when acute conjunctivitis occurs, it is necessary to go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for treatment in time, and follow the doctor's advice to drop eye drops on time for treatment. Generally, it can be cured within 5 to 7 days. Special attention should be paid to the fact that once in contact with the eyes, tears, and eye secretions of the child, hands should be cleaned in time, and related items such as clothes and bedding used by the child should be boiled in boiling water for 10 minutes or soaked in disinfectant.
Wen Xin pointed out that children should rest more during illness, eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, and eat more fruits and vegetables. Families with two or three children must do a good job in disease education for children, pay attention to hand hygiene, and avoid cross-infection within the family. For bacterial conjunctivitis, young children can use tobramycin eye drops or eye ointment. In addition to tobramycin eye drops and ointment, school-age children can also choose levofloxacin and use antiviral eye drops as appropriate. "Medication must follow the doctor's advice, especially for young children, and more attention should be paid."
Wen Xin pointed out that some parents worried about the "irritation" of eye drops, and prepared physiological saline or artificial tears for their children to rinse the sick eyes. In fact, artificial tears can not play a therapeutic role, only the effect of local washing. The component of normal saline is sodium chloride, which has a certain antibacterial or antiviral effect, but it can only be used as an auxiliary means and cannot replace conjunctivitis-related drugs.
Giving children, especially young children, eye drops can be described as "a difficult task". How to do it? Wen Xin suggested that parents should wash their hands before instilling eye drops, gently open the eyelids, and drop the eye drops into the upper and lower eyelids at a distance of 1 to 2 cm from the eyes. The mouth of the bottle should not touch the eyes and eyelashes. Drop different types of eye drops at intervals of more than 5 minutes. When giving eye drops to a child, in order to prevent the child from crying, it is best for several parents to work together to comfort and immobilize the limbs. If there is a lot of crying and tears, it can be supplemented 1~2 times.
