What should I do if I have a cold and my eyes hurt or feel uncomfortable?

Recently, many friends around me have caught colds and fevers. Most colds that cause fevers are caused by viruses. Some people also have symptoms such as eye pain and tears when they catch a cold. So why do these symptoms occur?

1. Blurred vision caused by cold

Pathological analysis: This discomfort is directly related to the common cold, which causes increased intraocular pressure and leads to decreased vision.

Prescription from a famous doctor: Usually this phenomenon will go away on its own after you recover from a cold. During this period, patients should pay attention to getting more rest and try to shorten the time they use their eyes.

In addition, it would be a good choice to choose a pair of glasses with suitable optical frames during this period, which can effectively reduce the impact of blurred vision on normal life and work.

And try not to wear contact lenses during a cold to avoid infection.

2. Eyelid swelling and pain caused by cold

Pathological analysis: After catching a cold, nasal congestion symptoms will appear, which will make nasal ventilation worse or completely blocked, and the amount of residual gas in the lungs will increase, which will increase the relative pressure in the lungs, indirectly leading to increased blood pressure. There are more capillaries in the eyes and they are more sensitive, so the eyes will feel congested and swollen, and the pressure in the eye chamber will increase, so you will feel eye pain.

In addition, spending too much time on the Internet can also cause redness, swelling and soreness in the eyes.

The famous doctor prescribed: take 0.4 ibuprofen orally three times a day, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and it is recommended to eat a low-salt diet and avoid spicy food. Secondly, the pillow should not be too low when sleeping and adjust the sleep time.

If the symptoms are serious, it is best to go to a public hospital for examination to avoid delaying the disease and affecting the health of the eyes.

3. Tears in the eyes caused by colds

Pathological analysis: When you have a cold, your nose is blocked, which blocks the flow of tears, causing symptoms such as tearing. This may be a normal physiological reaction to some highly irritating cold medicines.

Famous doctor's prescription: Keep warm, don't be greedy for cold, don't eat spicy food, don't drink alcohol, and exercise more to enhance immunity. Half of the time, the symptoms will improve and eventually disappear after the cold is cured. I wish you all good health and good appetite.
