How to treat barley at home?

Does the eyelid begin to ache and begin to swell up? It's not otherwise that the barley is going to jump up on your eye ... You will not brighten up, you will not cover it, and even blink painfully - that's a nuisance! Do not hesitate, start treating barley immediately, as you felt discomfort!

Unfortunately, I encountered this problem quite often. When my grandmother was alive, she whispered an interesting verse-she was talking barley, she liked her grandchildren, but it did not always help, but if you take the time for treatment, you can do without a conspiracy.

In general, the disease, called in the people by barley, is an inflammation of the hair sac of the eyelash and the sebaceous gland located near the hair bulb. The inflammatory process is usually bacterial in nature, but occurs against the background of weakened immunity during hypothermia (the wind blew for a long time in the face when riding in a car with an open window, or sat under an air-conditioner, bought themselves in a pool, etc.), as well as non-compliance Rules of hygiene - using someone else's towel, rubbing eyes with dirty hands, etc. If you do not start treating barley in time, the inflammation will grow into a purulent process, and then the entire eye can swim .

To prevent this from happening, you need to start the treatment of barley as soon as possible. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen hygiene measures: for washing, use separate cotton swabs for each eye, so that the microbes from the diseased eye do not get into the healthy one (wipe only with warm water or decoctions of chamomile, calendula), and apply a warm tea bag to the inflamed eye, not While allowing the subsequent cooling of already already inflamed eyes. And it's best to start using dry heat immediately.

If you are in a room where the air conditioner works, then try to cover the sore eyes with a clean handkerchief. If I feel that something is wrong with my eye, then, when I come home, I try to warm the painful eyelid first, applying gauze to my eye, or a clean handkerchief heated by an iron - I do it for a long time - I will iron it, I will put it on, how it will cool down - Still iron and so at least once 5. It's good to have eye drops with an antibiotic at home (levomycitin, for example) and start digging in as soon as you feel discomfort. Sometimes it happens that even these procedures are enough to just begin the inflammatory process faded.

If barley has already passed from the stage of reddening of the century to the formation of the head of barley, then it is unlikely that it will be possible to "reverse the process" - it will have to wait until the barley ripens (sometimes up to 5-7 days) and breaks through itself (but it is possible to accelerate this process to a pair -trowing the days, applying folk remedies), and for the night lay the ointment with an antibiotic (for example, tetracycline ophthalmic or erythromycin) over the eyelid. Yes, do not forget to fix the bandage from a clean gauze pad, so as not to smear the pillow in your sleep with pus.

When you feel that just about to appear or have already appeared barley on the eye, treatment with folk remedies very well helps in a number of cases.

Everyone, probably, knows about applying a hard-boiled egg (through a clean cloth, of course) to a sick age. If this is the very beginning, then the process of barley formation may fade, if not, it will help its accelerated maturation and breakthrough.

Many times, when I was looking for information about the treatment of barley, I read about the miraculous property of dry tansy flowers, which must be swallowed, simply washed down with water. Tried, but it did not help me, maybe, of course, I had to take it as something special.

But putting a baked onion really helped. True, the occupation is a bit troublesome, but if it hurts and you want to quickly get rid of the fallen misfortune, what can not you do! I was told about this method by a friend, and she, in turn, advised this folk remedy for barley . You need to do this: clean the small onion, cut into 2-4 parts and, taking one plate, put it on a clean hot frying pan, wait until the onion plate starts baking (become transparent), take it off the frying pan, and apply two layers of binder to the eyelid (So as not to get burned), and if it's not hot already, then simply without gauze can be applied, just cover the top with a handkerchief. So you need to bake a few plates and put them in turn. This and the pain removes, and helps to break through the ripening barley. At me for 2 days off with this procedure all has passed or has taken place, the truth not for once, in day 2-3 times all it did or made.

If you are tortured with barley, literally one after another get out, then you can not do without a visit to a specialist, you will be given an appropriate examination and will prescribe a course of vitamins to raise the overall immunity.

Take care of yourself and be well!
