Be careful of contagious conjunctivitis during the hot and humid summer!

Today, I would like to learn about one of them, "conjunctivitis transmission."

 

Conjunctivitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the conjunctiva.

It is mainly transmitted by viruses or bacteria.

 

Extra caution is especially needed during the hot summer months.

Because heat and humidity can facilitate the spread of conjunctivitis.

 

 

The main symptoms of conjunctivitis transmission include red eyes, itching, and a burning sensation.

Sometimes tears may flow excessively, and the eyelids may swell or the conjunctiva may become inflamed.

If you experience these symptoms, you should avoid touching your eyes frequently, touching your hands, or having direct contact with others.

 

Since conjunctivitis is relatively easily contagious, it is important to thoroughly wash your hands during times when caution is needed.

It is recommended not to touch your eyes in public places.

 

 

Special caution should be taken especially in humid places, swimming pools, and saunas.

If symptoms of conjunctivitis occur, it is important to seek immediate consultation with an ophthalmologist.

Receiving appropriate treatment through accurate diagnosis can significantly reduce disruptions to daily life.

 

Let's all work together to protect our health during the summer.

Please feel free to share any additional questions or opinions at any time.

Thank you.
