Doctor dispels myths about treating conjunctivitis with folk remedies
Ophthalmologist Mikhail Konovalov dispelled myths associated with the treatment of conjunctivitis.
He did this as part of the “Live Healthy” program on Channel One.
As the specialist noted, in case of any problems, you should immediately seek help from doctors, and not self-medicate or resort to “grandmother’s” methods.
He stressed on the TV show that tea bag compresses do not help in any way in treating such a widespread eye disease. This method can only worsen the situation.
If you apply a warm bag, the bacteria will only multiply more actively.
If a person applies the bag to an open eye, corneal erosion will occur.
Drops with honey will also not be effective in combating the disease.
Here it is necessary to take into account that honey provides an environment for the reproduction of bacteria and can also provoke allergic reactions.
