How to treat barley?

You woke up in the morning, rubbed your eyes and with surprise felt the pain, swelling in the eye eyelid ... Congratulations. Most likely, you have ocular barley. Treatment at home or in the hospital? How much time will it take? And it's not dangerous? To ordinary questions one more was added - how to treat barley. The answer is already ready.

Barley is an acute inflammatory disease of the upper or lower eyelid. Appears suddenly and in a short period of time, swelling, reddening of the eyelid may develop , a purulent inflammatory process may develop. Barley may appear on the eyelid after hypothermia. But hypothermia is a peculiar "START" button, which only starts the process. One of the reasons for his appearance is the presence of infection. In the vast majority of cases, the appearance of this disease is associated with Staphylococcus aureus.

Usually barley appears in people with weakened immunity. Prerequisites for its appearance can also be chronic diseases: diabetes, chronic gastritis and colitis. Among the possible causes of the emergence of barley can be noted and vitamin starvation of the body (hypovitaminosis). Not the last place in the "barley epidemic" is the violation of hygiene rules. In this regard, it is desirable not to exacerbate chronic diseases, do not use someone else's cosmetics, other people's towels or other personal care items , and do not touch your eyes and eyelids with unwashed hands.

Sometimes several barley may appear at once. Depending on the situation and individual characteristics, barley can resolve itself after a few days, or the inflammatory process reaches the stage of suppuration. Then, when barley is "ripe" - a "breakthrough" of barley takes place, pus follows naturally without outside help. A few days later the inflammation passes.

Do not squeeze the barley with your hands - this can lead to complications. Despite the seeming simplicity and "harmlessness" of the disease, barley can cause serious complications - from inflammation of the entire eye to meningitis (inflammation of the brain) with possible fatal outcome. During the treatment of barley, it is undesirable to use cosmetics and you can not wear contact lenses.

Now about how to treat barley: there are a lot of recipes and tips. There are recommendations of doctors who use the arsenal of modern medicine. No less (and maybe even more) popular recipes of folk medicine men, who know exactly how to treat barley with folk recipes.

How to treat barley (doctor's recommendation)

1. Before the ripening (the first few days), treat the inflamed area with alcohol or alcohol solutions (iodine, zelenka).
2. It is recommended to use antibiotics (eye drops or ophthalmic ointments)
3. If there is no increased body temperature - you can use ultraviolet warming (at home, the "blue lamp"),
4. With the re-emergence of barley, vitamin complexes are recommended, immunocorrectors are preparations for restoring the immune system of the body.

It is not recommended to use any kind of warming compresses - this can lead to the spread of the inflammation focus.

How to treat barley without drugs and antibiotics

Traditional medicine offers a choice of more than a dozen recipes for getting rid of the disease. I want to note a few very exotic methods, which, according to doctors, "like water - without benefit, and without harm":

• Roll out the bread crumb, then attach it to the sore spot. Hold for ten minutes, after which this crumb should be fed to the dog.
• Take a grain of barley and several times prick them a sore spot. After this, the grain needs to be fed to the rooster, or at least the chicken.
• On the wrist tie a red string of wool. If the left eye hurts - on the right wrist, if the right - on the contrary, on the left. Wear 5 days.

Numerous reviews of people using these methods, refute the position of health workers in this issue. Misunderstanding of the mechanisms of the process does not yet indicate the impossibility or incapacity of these "people's" methods. If a doctor and a medicine man ask "how to treat barley" - everyone will have their own version. How to treat barley personally to you - decide for yourself.
