HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR DACRYOCYSTITIS

-

Dacryocystitis is an infection of the tear sac (lacrimal sac) in the inner corner of your eye. Tears drain through this sac as they leave your eyes.
Tears help keep your eyes hydrated, clean, and free of bacteria. The lacrimal glands underneath your upper eyelids produce tears, which travel through small openings to the front of your eye. Every time you blink, the tears spread across your eyes. To make room for new tears, the fluid drains out of your eyes through small holes, called puncta, in the corners of your upper and lower eyelids. Then it drains through the nasolacrimal sac into the tear duct (lacrimal duct) and into the back of your nose.
Infections are usually caused by a blockage in the lacrimal duct that allows bacteria to build up inside the tear sac.
Dacryocystitis is most common in babies, who can be born with a blockage of the tear duct. This is called congenital dacryocystitis.
Middle-aged women are more likely than men to have a blockage because their duct is naturally narrower. The condition becomes more common as you age.
An infection that starts suddenly is called acute dacryocystitis. An infection that lasts for a long period of time is called chronic dacryocystitis.
Causes--The infection usually starts because of a blockage in the tear duct. Possible causes of this blockage include:
·         injury to the nose or eye, such as a broken nose
·         growths inside the nose called nasal polyps
·         sinus inflammation
·         nasal or sinus surgery
·         foreign object in the duct
·         cancer
Symptoms
Symptoms of acute dacryocystitis include:
·         pain, redness, and swelling in the inner corner of the eye
·         watery eye
·         swelling in the corner of the eye next to the nose
·         eye redness
·         pus or mucus in the corner of the eye
·         fever
Symptoms of chronic dacryocystitis are usually milder. You may notice tearing and some discharge from your eye, but little to no swelling.
Risk factors—Deviated septum , when your septum (the thin wall between your nostrils) is off-center, making one nostril smaller than the other
·         Rhinitis , or inflammation of the mucous membrane in the nose
·         Inferior turbinate hypertrophy, or swelling of one of the bony structures in your nose that help filter and humidify the air you breathe

De Quervain's tenosynovitis  is a painful condition affecting the tendons on the thumb side of your wrist. If you have de Quervain's tenosynovitis, it will probably hurt when you turn your wrist, grasp anything or make a fist. Although the exact cause of de Quervain's tenosynovitis isn't known, any activity that relies on repetitive hand or wrist movement — such as working in the garden, playing golf or racket sports, or lifting your baby — can make it worse. Causes- Chronic overuse of your wrist is commonly associated with de Quervain's tenosynovitis. Tendons are rope-like structures that attach muscle to bone. When you grip, grasp, clench, pinch or wring anything in your hand, two tendons in your wrist and lower thumb normally glide smoothly through the small tunnel that connects them to the base of the thumb. Repeating a particular motion day after day may irritate the sheath around the two tendons, causing thickening and swelling that restricts their m...
