From the Department of Eyes of Medipol Mega University Hospital, Assoc. Sevil Karaman, “If your child has a previous history of styes, skin conditions called seborrheic dermatitis or rosacea, or diabetes, styes may occur more frequently. A stye diagnosis is usually made based on your child's complete medical history and physical exam. Additional testing is not usually necessary to confirm the diagnosis.” said.
Assoc. Dr. Sevil Karaman, “This surgical intervention helps speed up healing, relieves pain and swelling. While it is possible to perform the procedure with local anesthesia in older children, it is necessary to intervene under general anesthesia in young children. gave the information.
Assoc. Dr. Sevil Karaman, “Do not be late to find out the cause of styes in children and start the treatment quickly. Rubbing and squeezing the sty in the eye spreads the infection. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the stye under the supervision of a physician. If your child has frequent styes in his eyes, the presence of the underlying triggering disease should be investigated.
WHY IT OCCUR IN CHILDREN
Stating that styes are seen more frequently in children than adults, Karaman said, “Push elbow, popularly known as stye, is an inflammation of the tear sebaceous glands. A stye is caused by an infection in the oil-producing sebaceous or sweat glands in the eyelid. The infection is usually caused by bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus. Because children are curious, they touch everywhere, they touch everything. Then they bring their hands to their eyes. They are more susceptible to infection.” he stated.
Informing that the sty, which is the inflammation of the tear sebaceous glands, is more common in children exposed to infection by touching surfaces to explore the environment, Assoc. Dr. Sevil Karaman continued her words as follows;
“Eyelid swelling, redness at the edge of the eyelid, pain and tenderness over the affected area are common symptoms of a stye. You should always consult your child's ophthalmologist for a diagnosis, as the symptoms of a stye can be similar to other conditions or medical problems.
