Having an eye infection is uncomfortable, irritating, and at times painful, and if left untreated can become a serious problem. The majority of common bacterial eye infections are easily and effectively treated with a prescription for antibiotic eye drops, ointments, and compresses. Most viral eye infections resolve on their own and require more discomfort relief than anything to relieve the itching and burning sensations. For example, applying a warm, wet, and clean towel to the eyes for 20 minutes from time to time will help relieve inflammation. It is always a wise choice to contact a medical professional before attempting any “home remedies” to treat your possible eye infection simply because some can be serious.
