eye infection

Quoted message said:

it seems i have an eye infection.

are there foods i can eat to help with it

An eye infection? or a sty? A sty is kinda like a small pimple or
infected eyelash folicle on the eye lid.

If it is a sty, take one regular tea bag soaked in a few tablespoons of
very hot water. Take the hot teabag (as hot as you can stand), shake
off any excess moisture, place on a folded paper towel, and hold the
teabag directly to the sty for a while. Maybe up to an hour.

Go to a doctor.

If it is an infection like pinkeye, go to the doctor and get some anti
biotic eye drops.

You can help it along by taking Vitamin C, anywhere from 1000 mg to 2
or 3000mgs, four or five times a day with food. If you opt for the
higher dosages and it upsets your stomach, cut it back a bit 'til it
agrees with you better.

what kind of tea for the teabag

Any real tea as opposed to herbal teas. Try orange pekoe or earl grey.

what's the theory behind this tea idea

what's the theory behind this tea idea

Don't rightly know. As a child I got stys on a regular basis. First one
eye, then it would clear then the other eye then that would clear.
Every few months the same thing. My older brother worked as a nursing
aid in another province. He was home on vacation and I got a sty. He
applied the hot tea bag to my eyes and I've not gotten a sty since. Not
a single one in over 35 years.

so this tea bag permanently innoculates your eye against sties?

Doubt it. But, in my case, I never got another one, ever. It did get
rid of the problem.

Warm Compresses
Warm compresses heat the debris and crust on the lid margin to or above
the melting point of their individual components so that they are
easily removed with the lid scrubs.
Technique: Soaking a washcloth in water as warm as the eyelids can
stand, and then placing the cloth on the lid surface (eyelids closed)
for a five to ten minute period. In the acute phase this is performed 2
to 4 times day.
We have read about variations/innovations in the way warmth may be
applied to the eye. One method described is the use of a fresh-boiled
egg (in its shell wrapped in a washcloth). Another method described is
to use a stocking filled with grains of uncooked dry rice heated in a
microwave oven to a comfortable warm temperature.

I would leave it alone except to treat it with a hot teabag or a hot
compress as I suggested. And start taking vitamin C until you can see
the doctor.

I was asked an opinion and I proferred it. Got a problem with that? Go
some place where freedom of speech is not valued.

Well, you practice nutrition with convoluted paranoia, in you terms
freedom of speech, but it doesn't mean you are remotely close to being
factual. You might as well practice medicine without a license it's not
much different.
