What are the symptoms of conjunctivitis

summary

I had the experience of conjunctivitis. I felt terrible. I felt that there was a foreign body in my eyes, accompanied by a burning sensation. Because I didn't understand the disease, I was delayed for a long time. Let's see what the symptoms of conjunctivitis are.

What are the symptoms of conjunctivitis

Symptom 1: foreign body sensation, burning sensation, heavy eyelid, increased secretion, photophobia, tears and varying degrees of vision loss may appear when the lesion involves the cornea.

Symptom 2: conjunctival vascular congestion is characterized by the more obvious congestion near the fornix. The blood vessels are distributed in a network with bright red color. They can extend into the cornea and form corneal pannus. The congestion disappears quickly after dripping adrenaline.

Symptom 3: purulent secretions are more common in gonococcal conjunctivitis; mucous purulent or catarrhal secretions are more common in bacterial or chlamydial conjunctivitis, which can be firmly adhered to the eyelashes, making it difficult to open the eyelids in the morning; if watery secretions appear, it is likely to be caused by viral conjunctivitis.

matters needing attention

Conjunctivitis is mostly contact infection, so it should be advocated to wash hands frequently and avoid rubbing eyes at will. If an eye has conjunctivitis, pay attention to protect the healthy eye from the same infection.
