Answer 1

Eye Problems

Eye pain or redness and changes in your vision may be signs of a problem that requires medical attention. Follow the chart below for more information about problems with your eyes.

SYMPTOMS DIAGNOSIS SELF-CARE

1. Is your eye tearing? Go to Question 11.**

2. Do you have blurred vision? Go to Question 8.*

3. Have you recently injured your eye, and are you experiencing any of the following symptoms:

sudden appearance of spots and strings floating in your field of vision;
flashes of light in 1 or both eyes;
partial loss of vision?
You may have a serious and urgent problem, such as a DETACHED RETINA. URGENT
CALL YOUR EYE DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY.


4. Is your eye red, do you have severe eye pain, or has your vision suddenly decreased or become cloudy? Your symptoms may be from ACUTE GLAUCOMA, a condition caused by a rise in eye pressure that can cause permanent vision damage or blindness. URGENT
If you have these symptoms, call your doctor right away.


5. Are you experiencing flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, muscle aches and a pain in one or both temples? Your symptoms may be a sign of a serious inflammatory condition called TEMPORAL ARTERITIS. SEE YOUR DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY.

6. Do you have thick nasal drainage and pain or pressure on your forehead and behind your eyes? SINUSITIS (an infection of the sinuses) may be the cause of your pain. Use a cold or sinus medicine, and drink lots of fluids. Warm facial compresses may also help relieve the pain. If your symptoms don't improve, or if you have constant fever or severe pain, see your doctor as soon as possible.

7. Are your eyes red or sensitive to light, are you experiencing eye pain, and do you see dark, floating spots? You may have an inflammation inside the eye called IRITIS.
See your doctor or an eye specialist right away.


8. Do you have diabetes, and have you noticed any changes in your vision? Over time, too much glucose (sugar) in the blood can cause eye problems.
Tell your doctor about the vision changes you have experienced. He or she can give you advice on preventing eye problems.


9. Does your toddler have crossed eyes? Crossed eyes, or STRABISMUS, can occur when eye muscles become weak or when there is a loss or lack of vision in one eye. Have your child checked by an eye specialist (ophthalmologist).

10. Are your eyes red, itchy or swollen, or is there a bite-like swelling on one of your eyelids? Your symptoms may be from an ALLERGY or an INSECT BITE.
Use a cool compress and take an antihistamine to relieve discomfort. See your doctor if the swelling doesn't get better or if you have a fever.


**11. Do you have a fever, and is your eye swollen and tender to the touch?
These may be signs of a serious eye infection called PERIORBITAL CELLULITIS.
URGENT
SEE YOUR DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY.


12. Is there a firm, painful lump in the eyelid or a tender "pimple" on the edge of the eyelid?
You may have either a CHALAZION or a HORDEOLUM; both are types of STIES.
Sties usually heal in 5 to 7 days. To relieve the pain, apply warm compresses for 10 to 15 minutes, 4 times a day and take mild pain relievers. If the bump grows or doesn't go away, see your doctor. If the redness spreads or swells quickly, seek help promptly.


13. Is the white of the eye pink, red or irritated, and are there any secretions or mucus from the eye?
CONJUNCTIVITIS, also called "PINK EYE," can be caused by a virus or bacteria.
Conjunctivitis is very contagious, so avoid contact with the eye and wash your hands often. Try over-the-counter eyedrops and apply warm compresses to relieve any discomfort.

If there's no improvement, you may have a more serious form of viral or bacterial conjunctivitis. See your doctor promptly.


14. Is your eye red, is your vision blurry and do you feel like you have sand in your eye?
This sensation may be from a SCRATCHED CORNEA or from a small particle under the eyelid. Rinse your eye with clean water or a saline solution. If the sensation doesn't go away, see your doctor as soon as possible.

15. Do you have a burning sensation in the eye, is the eye red and itchy, and is the skin around the eye scaling? This chronic irritation is called BLEPHARITIS. Apply warm compresses and wash your eye gently with an eyewash and washcloth. If the problem doesn't resolve, see your doctor.

16. Do you wear contact lenses, and do you have eye pain? You may have an irritation from contact lens overuse or a more serious eye condition caused by your contact lenses. Remove your contact lenses and let your eyes rest for a while. If the redness or irritation doesn't go away, see your eye care professional.

For more information, please talk to your doctor. If you think your problem is serious, call your doctor right away.

Answer 2

Stop giving him cat food and just feed him chicken or anything else that's bland but boiled chicken will do for now. Maybe your kitten was too young to eat rich cat food and it's playing havock with it's insides. I found this bit of text on the internet: The blood in the stool, however, is not normal. In a young cat - this is most likley either a parasite infection, a food allergy, or a stress-related colitis. Your kitty should be fully examined by a vet. Bring a fresh stool sample with you, so that it may be evaluated for parasites. The vet may also prescribe a special diet to help with any potential allergies or inflammation. I don't know what medicine you could give it as humans medicine obviously wouldn't be suitable but have you got some kind of good pet store if you havent got a local vet ? Look on the internet in more detail but when my cats have had problems i always go back to just feeding them chicken for as many days as it talkes to remedy itself. Good luck with him x

Answer 3

There is a small chance that this could be a symptom of a rare brain disease, called Temporal Arteritis. If other symptoms are present, such as a severe headache, weight loss, or muscular pain in the jaw, consult your doctor soon. This can also be a symptom of a problem with the ocular nerves, Only your doctor can tell.

Answer 4

sounds like a infection or a reaction. Anything get into your rub, or did you touch if after having chemicals or anything like that on your hands? Did you use any new soaps or anything? Think about everything casumed and touch in the last two days. Def go to the Dr.

Answer 5

It sounds like another symptom of Lyme Disease. That is one of the first symptoms that I had, and still have... It is in my left eye and I wake up most mornings with nothing but "gunk" in that eye.
Both of my eyes are affected, but the left is definitely the worst.
I have been to my eye doctor and he can find nothing out of the ordinary wrong with with it and, even though I did need glasses, they do not help with it at all.
The only thing that I notice that you did not mention was seeing "floaters" in your eye... On days that my eye is the "yuckiest", the floaters are the worst.
I do wish you all the best and hope you can find out for sure..

Answer 6

it sounds like you have an eye infection?

once it looked like i had a bruise(it turned kind of blueish) right under my eye. and it puffed up.
but this went away in a day.

Answer 7
