Barley on the eyelid

“My son appeared on the eye of barley. What to do?”

Barley is caused by bacteria (staphylococci) sebaceous gland on the eyelashes. First, a lump appears in the eyelid, The skin above it is red, swollen and painful. It happens, that swelling is so large, that it prevents the eye from opening. A fever may rarely appear. Barley is growing for several days, then it breaks. Initially, compresses are used 3-4 times a day after 10 min, np. from the herb of the skylight (decoction with 1 tablespoons of herb for a glass of water), tea essence or chamomile flower. I would also recommend a visit to a pediatrician. He can offer eye drops or an antibiotic ointment (sometimes oral drugs). Sometimes an ophthalmological consultation is necessary. Under no circumstances should barley be squeezed, Because inflammation can spread to adjacent eye sockets.
