कक्षीय सेल्युलाइटिस

का कारण बनता है

There are several common causes of orbital cellulitis:

• Infections that spread from areas around the eye including:
  • Sinuses—this is the most common reason
  • Mouth and teeth
  • चेहरा
• Infections that spread from the bloodstream
• Injury or surgery in the area
• Stye on the eyelid
• Bug bite or sting to the eyelid

Children are at high risk of severe infections from orbital cellulitis that could result in blindness. For this reason, they should be given medical attention right away. In young children, the infection is often caused by a sinus infection due to a organism called हेमोफिलस इन्फ्लुएंजा.

• Antibiotics are given to treat the infection. They will be started right away, even before results from the laboratory have come back. Antibiotics are generally given by mouth for three weeks. If the infection is serious, antibiotics may be given through an IV for at least several days.
• Nasal decongestants will help sinus drainage if you have sinusitis.
• Diuretics or eye drops are given to help decrease pressure within the eyeball.
• Surgery may be performed to drain a pus collection from an infected sinus or orbit.

If you are diagnosed with orbital cellulitis, follow your doctor’s instructions .

रोकथाम

Treating sinus or dental infections right away may prevent them from spreading to the eyes. In addition, children should be protected with the Hib B vaccine, which will prevent most of the हेमोफिलस इन्फ्लुएंजा infections.
