Virus Infected

Buti na lang sembreak na. Bakasyon na kahit isang linggo lang.
At gaya ng pagkavirus ng cellphone ko eh navirusan din ang gumagamit nito--ako.

SORE EYES! Ohe men.

Actually, si ate ang unang nagkasore eyes sa pamilya namen the night befor I go to subic at bago magpunta ng Galera si Mami. sabi pa nga namen buti aalis kami at makakaiwas kami. At ngayon paguwi namen eh pareho kaming may sore eyes.

Sabi nung iba kong classmates na nagkasoreeyes na hindi naman daw masakit. Sabi ko ngayon medyo masakit siya. Mahapdi sa mata, pagkagising mo sa umaga di ka makadilat sa dami ng muta at pagyumuyuko ka parang malalaglag yung mata mo plus medyo sisingkit siya ng konti at para kang sabog.

Eto, nagsearch ako ng ilang infos about sa sore eyes pati kung paano to maiiwasan para naman sa inyo. Mahirap magkasore eyes.!

How do you prevent sore eyes?
* Wash hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water.
* Do not touch your eyes and face without washing your hands.
* Do not share towels, eyeglasses/ shades and make up.
* Do not reuse handkerchiefs (using a tissue is best).
* Used make-up must be thrown away if the patient has been diagnosed with infectious conjunctivitis.

* To prevent irritation of the eye and possible scarring, do not use contact lens while one has sore eyes.
* Do not wear eye make-up until the problem has been resolved.
* Warm compress may be helpful to relieve discomfort and remove "crust."
