Eye Inflammation

Usually a combination of a mild infection and blocked tear ducts (see Watering Eyes); if tear ducts cannot be unblocked by gently massaging skin on either side of nose, paediatrician will use a probe to open them. Wipe eyes every 4 hours with Hypericum and Calendula solution (5 drops of mother tincture of each in 0.25 l [1/2 pint] boiled cooled water) and give Argentum nit. 6c every 2 hours for up to 10 doses. If inflammation persists, see your medical doctor; an eye swab may have to be taken. In rare cases, eyes may be inflamed because of gonorrhoea (see Sexually Transmitted Diseases) during pregnancy.
