Dry eyes, pus discharge 11645...India
A 40-year-old woman had been suffering from dry and gritty eyes with redness, itching, and discharge of whitish pus since June 2020, two months after recovering from Covid-19. She neglected her symptoms until Feb 2021 when they became worse; the ophthalmologist attributed her condition to post-covid effects and prescribed steroid eye drops. This provided 50% relief from itching and pus discharge which would return if she stopped using the eye drops. Her condition was affecting her personal life as well as her career, since her job involved working on computers daily for six hours.
On 10 Dec 2022, she visited the practitioner with red and pus-filled eyes and was given:
CC7.3 Eye infections…TDS orally and in distilled water as eye drops
She stopped the allopathic treatment immediately. There was no change in the 1st month but inspired by the practitioner’s faith and advice continued the remedy for 2 more months. On 10 March, she reported 25% reduction in pus in both eyes but no other change. By 11 April, to the patient’s great relief, the pus reduced by 90% and other symptoms by 50%. Two more months later, on 15 June, reporting 100% relief from all the symptoms, she excitedly conveyed that she was now able to work on her laptop comfortably. The dosage was reduced to OD. After another month, oral remedy was stopped. The patient continues the eye drops at OD for maintenance. She was also given IB at OD.
As of March 2024, she remains symptom-free.
Editor’s comment: Following a cue from the ophthalmologist’s diagnosis, the practitioner could have given the combo for Covid Recuperation for faster relief.
