What anti-inflammatory medicine should be taken orally for conjunctivitis

Anti-inflammatory drugs are very popular medicines in our lives, because inflammation is the main type of disease, which causes the greatest and most lasting damage to the body. There are many manifestations of inflammation. Among them, conjunctivitis is a manifestation of eye inflammation, which makes the eyes congested and look very scary. Therefore, taking anti-inflammatory drugs to treat conjunctivitis is very urgent. Let’s take a look at what oral anti-inflammatory drugs are the best for conjunctivitis?

Patients with conjunctivitis generally have symptoms of red eyes, and also experience varying degrees of dryness and itching in the eyes. Some people develop this disease due to always rubbing their eyes with their hands, which can cause great harm to the human body.

1. Conjunctivitis can be treated with oral broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ofloxacin and levofloxacin hydrochloride. The effect of ofloxacin is slightly inferior to that of levofloxacin hydrochloride. Patients can choose the medication according to their own situation, and generally can get better therapeutic effects. Patients must treat this disease in a timely, thorough and persistent manner to have better therapeutic effects, and can also prevent recurrent attacks. Once discovered, treatment should be given immediately and do not interrupt treatment. Treatment should be continued for 1 week after the symptoms completely disappear, so as to prevent recurrent attacks.

2. While taking anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment, you can also use some external medications for treatment to achieve better results. You can choose normal saline or 2% boric acid water to rinse the conjunctival sac. After rinsing, wipe the eyelid margin with a sterilized cotton swab, and then use antibiotic eye drops to drop the eyes to get good results. Depending on the severity of the disease, you can use eye drops once every 2 to 3 hours or every hour. Commonly used eye drops include: 10% to 20% sodium sulfacetamide, 0.3% norfloxacin, 0.25% chloramphenicol eye drops, etc.

3. If conjunctivitis is caused by a mixed viral infection, you can also use antiviral eye drops, such as 0.1% hydroxybenzazole eye drops, 0.1% peptide butamine emulsion, etc., which can have a therapeutic effect. Patients also need to avoid eating spicy things. It is better not to eat spicy and hot foods such as onions, leeks, garlic, peppers, lamb, dog meat, etc., and do not drink alcohol. Also, do not eat seafood, such as elephant fish, shad, shark, hairtail, yellow croaker, eel, shrimp, crab, etc.
