What is the transmission route of pinkeye?

Prevention of pinkeye-what is pinkeye? Pink eye is a common acute epidemic conjunctivitis caused by bacterial infection. It often erupts in spring and summer. It is characterized by acute onset and strong infectivity. After the onset, jealousy, photophobia, burning sensation, eyelid swelling and tears, increased secretion, severe cases will be accompanied by headache, fever, preauricular lymph node enlargement and other symptoms. The transmission route of pinkeye is medically called acute catarrhal conjunctivitis, and its transmission route is mainly through contact. Often through contact with the patient's eye secretions or tears (such as towels, handkerchiefs, washbasins, water, etc. ), shake hands with patients with pink eye or rub their eyes with dirty hands. They will be infected and eventually cause the epidemic of pinkeye. In summer and autumn, because of the hot weather, bacteria are easy to grow and reproduce, which is very easy to cause epidemics. How to prevent and cure pinkeye Since we know the main transmission route of pinkeye, we can completely prevent and stop the outbreak. (1) If pinkeye is found, it should be isolated in time, and all utensils should be used separately. It is best to wash and dry them before use. (2) Pay attention to hand hygiene. To develop the good habit of washing hands frequently, don't rub your eyes with dirty hands and cut your nails frequently. (3) In addition to active treatment, when suffering from pinkeye, you should go to public places less and do not use towels or washbasins. Some people think that people with pinkeye will get pinkeye, which is unreasonable. At present, only through direct or indirect contact can he get sick. The symptoms of pink eye disease are: conjunctival congestion in one eye or both eyes, and a lot of mucus purulent secretions, but generally it does not affect vision. If not treated in time, some will turn into chronic conjunctivitis. The specific treatment is as follows: (1) At the beginning, eyelid and conjunctiva swelling can be treated with cold compress, three times a day for 20 minutes each time. When one eye suffers from pink eye and the other eye is not infected, healthy eyes should be prevented from being infected. When washing eyes or dropping eye drops, the head should be tilted to the affected side, and when sleeping, the head should be tilted to the affected side to prevent secretions from flowing into healthy eyes. (2) When the secretion increases, wash your eyes with normal saline or warm boiled water, 3 ~ 4 times a day, and clean the secretions in your eyes. It should be noted that when suffering from pink eye disease, it is forbidden to cover your eyes, because after covering your eyes, the temperature in your eyes will rise, which is conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria, and secretions are not easy to discharge, which will aggravate inflammation. (3) You can drop 0.25% chloramphenicol eye drops or other anti-inflammatory eye drops every 2 hours, and apply anti-inflammatory eye ointment before going to bed. . When someone suffers from pinkeye, he asks the doctor to give him an anti-inflammatory injection to treat it. Actually, it's not necessary Anti-inflammation has little effect on pinkeye. If the baby's red eye is serious and it is difficult to drop eye drops, sulfanilamide emulsion can be taken orally.
