What causes an eye infection, and how can it be treated naturally? - #14709
For the past few days, my eye has been red, watery, and slightly swollen, and I think it might be an eye infection. I don’t know if it’s from bacteria, a virus, or an allergy, but it’s starting to feel uncomfortable. What exactly causes an eye infection, and how can I tell whether it’s bacterial, viral, or allergic? Does it always cause symptoms like redness, discharge, or irritation, or are there different signs depending on the type of infection? Also, how do eye infections spread—can they be caused by touching the eyes with unclean hands? I also want to know how eye infections are treated. Do antibiotic eye drops always work, or can some infections go away on their own? Are there Ayurvedic treatments like herbal washes or natural remedies that help clear an eye infection quickly? If anyone has had an eye infection, what was the cause, and what treatment worked best? Did you use natural remedies, or did you need prescription medication?
