Ocular cellulitis, very common in children

It may happen that we suddenly notice a swelling in one of our children's eyelids, at first it will seem to be an insect bite or a stye, but the next day, instead of reducing the inflammation, it increases to the point of practically covering the entire eye. Undoubtedly, it is time to go to the doctor.

Cellulite is the most common eye condition in children and consists of a infection of the tissues around the eye. In addition to swelling and redness of the eyelid, fever and a sensation of heat may appear in the eye. However, it is not common for ocular cellulite to cause burning inside the eye.

La ocular cellulitis It always requires antibiotic treatment and improves between the second and seventh day. Do not be scared if the swelling is really large, with treatment the recovery is complete, but if it is not treated it can have serious consequences to the health of the child.
