Skills Related to Spring Conjunctivitis and its Treatment

Spring Conjunctivitis is a disease that affects the eye in the summer and autumn because of the long exposure to sun and because of the dust during playing outside. If the baby is affected with conjunctivitis, his mother follows the advices of the elders in treatment. She puts Henna (Henna is derived from the leaves of the henna plant, and the powdered form is typically made into a paste and applied to the hair or skin.) and rock sugar inside a piece of cloth in a pot to soak them with water. Then she drips it in the eye of the child. Or she can put the cloth soaked in water and filled with Henna and rock sugar on the eye of the child to soothe the eye. The head of the child will be wrapped by wet cloth to lower the temperature, too. Another treatment can be done by crushing onion with salt and putting it on the affected eye. Other ways for treatment can be done by sprinkling the dried yellow flowers of pomegranates intermixed with rock sugar on the affected eye. Some people treat conjunctivitis by washing the eye with tea or putting tomato on the eye.
