Halyazion in children. Treatment of this disease. What is the difference between halachion and barley?

Quite often, in childhood, barley appears on the eye. It looks terrible, because the eye on which the barley pops hides under the veil of a swollen age. But this disease has one positive moment - it passes relatively quickly. It takes only a few days for barley, so to speak, to "mature." And if you still carry out a number of medical measures that are based on instillation of eye antibacterial drugs and visits to physiotherapy procedures, you can be cured for a couple of days at all. Similar to barley, another eye disease, called ophthalmologists "halyazion", so quickly does not stop. In the case of haljazionom it is possible to try to drip into the eyes of many different eye drops and all sorts of medicines, but the knob on the eyelid will not just disappear so easily. It should be noted that barley and haljazion have a common origin. They appear on the eyelids with the inflammation of such anatomical structures of the eye as the meibomian glands. These glands develop a special secret that provides sufficient lubrication to our eye. If this lubricant was not present, the eye would dry very quickly, and the person would constantly have unpleasant sensations of littering eyes.

Halyazion in children, whose treatment is a very difficult task, is a chronic, relapsing disease, which is based on infectious processes in the meibomian glands. Halyazion, the causes of which should be sought inside the body (worms, dysbiosis, beriberi, etc.), can affect both one eyelid and both. The peculiarity of this disease is not infiltration of surrounding tissues, but profilerative growth inside the gland itself, subsequent encapsulation and inflammation during the weakening of immunity. How to distinguish halyazion, in children, it is very difficult to treat it at home, from barley, which is quite easy to treat with folk remedies?

And at one, and at other pathological condition there is a tumescence of a century, its or his reddening, sometimes even an itch and painful sensations. However, with a typical haljason a few days after the onset of the disease all the signs of inflammation disappear, only the education itself remains. It is dense to the touch, its dimensions are very variable: from small millet grains to quite large peas.

The question arises: "And how to treat halyazion?". One thing is clear that simple problem solving in the form of a hot spoon or a hard-boiled egg can not solve the problem, because it's not barley. You should consult a qualified specialist and begin treatment. Halyazion in children, whose treatment requires special delicacy from ophthalmologists in view of the fear and rejection by all babies of medical procedures, is cured in two basic and effective ways. First, it is an operational method of removing education. In children, surgical interventions on the eyelids are performed under intravenous anesthesia. The doctor in this case has the opportunity to safely remove the entire capsule of the halazion, without being distracted by the persuasion and reassurance of the child, who by virtue of his age is very afraid of people in white coats, and unpleasant pain. If you undergo radical removal of halyazin in children, treatment of it will necessarily end positively. And the scars, about which parents are worried, quickly resolve in childhood, because Children's skin is very elastic and is capable of rapid self-renewal. The second effective way to treat halazion is injecting corticosteroid drugs into the lump itself. It is performed under local anesthesia. Corticosteroids lead to a decrease in size and resorption of haljazion. However, ophthalmologists do not really like this technique, because For little children she is very unpleasant and painful.

If your child has an eye on halyazion, it is not as dangerous as you think, the main thing is to turn to a doctor in time.
