Health Tips: In several states of the country, eye flu infection is spreading very rapidly among children. There has been a lot of rain in Delhi, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat. In such a situation, immunity becomes weak due to lack of hygiene. Due to which this infection starts spreading. Children are more physically active and live in groups. The rise in flu among school children has increased the stress of parents.

In such a situation, today we will know how children can be protected from eye flu, what should be done by school going children and what should be taken care of in case of eye flu.

Q: What is eye flu?
Answer: Eye flu is also known as conjunctivitis and pink eye. Most of its cases are caused by the common cold and cough virus.

This eye infection causes inflammation of the conjunctiva. Conjunctivitis is a clear coating that covers the white part of the eye and the inner lining of the eyelids.

In this, the infection spreads to the white part of the eye. Due to which it is very difficult to see the patients. It can cause infection to any person due to the virus.

It spreads rapidly especially in monsoon.

Question: Why does eye flu occur in rainy season?
Answer: Due to low temperature and high humidity in monsoon, people are exposed to bacteria, viruses and allergies. These allergic reactions and infections cause conjunctivitis.

Q: What are the symptoms of eye flu in children?
Answer: Redness, watering, burning, eyelid sticking, swelling, burning pain, itching.

Q: Is eye flu spread by touch?
Answer: Yes, it spreads from person to person. Touching the eyes transfers the virus to the hand and eye flu is spread when you touch the eyes or clean the dirt.

Suppose, one eye has conjunctivitis. After touching with the hand, if the child touches the other eye with the same hand, the infection will also occur in that eye. If you touch someone else with the same hand, the risk of getting it increases.

This is the reason why cases of eye flu are increasing rapidly.

Q: So does the eye flu spread through sight?
Answer: Eye flu is a viral infection. That is why it spreads rapidly. Many people have this misconception that the one whose eye has come up, if they see it, their eye will also get infected.

This is not the case at all. Eye flu is spread by touch, not sight.
