Styes also known as Kuliti

When I woke her up yesterday morning for school, she won’t open her eyes and when she finally did, she complained that it hurts. She didn’t want me to open the light so I just took the flash light to see why. To my surprise, her eyelid is swollen.

Initially, hubby and I suspected it as insect bites, a cockroach perhaps. But how can that be? We make sure to clean the bed every night before we even sleep to remove the dusts it could accumulated the whole day. And if was indeed some insect, I should have felt it also as Ayex sleeps beside me.

When we came home last night, I noticed that her eye is a bit bigger already but it’s teary and nagmumuta. Good thing hubby is working from home today, he was able to bring Ayex to the pedia.

What is a stye in the first place and what is its cause?

A stye — commonly called kuliti — which is a boil that has developed at the base of an eyelash. This usually happens because the eyelash root has become infected by bacteria, often by rubbing the lid with infected hands.

At first a red lump appears at the edge of the eyelid, which then gets larger and eventually bursts after a few days, often during sleep. Despite its appearance, it will rarely cause any problems and usually goes away on its own in about five to seven days.

To ease your baby’s discomfort you can use warm compresses. Use a clean warm towel to bathe the eye for about ten minutes, four times a day until the stye starts to go down. Often keeping the eye clean is all you need to do.

If the stye does not get better or if your baby keeps getting styes you should contact your doctor. Sometimes an antibiotic ointment is needed to clear the infection. In some instances, incision and drainage may be necessary. Source

Ayex is definitely prone to styes because she has this habit of rubbing her eyes. And like any little girl, when she plays, she gets dirty hands. That is probably the cause of her stye. The pedia gave her an ointment and we were instructed to put warm cotton on her eye every four hours.

Lesson learned, keep your kids’ hands away from their eyes or even mouth and always clean them either by frequent washing or using alcohol.

      Hi Yanex,

      I strongly suggest that you see an eye doctor ASAP. I am not a medical practitioner and what I wrote in this post is basically what I experienced with my daughter. A medical professional is in a position to better answer your questions. Magpache-up ka agad para malaman mo kung ano ang nangyayari sa mata mo.

      Thanks!

      Hi MamaFaye,

      From our experience, it can grow from the eyelid too. If after applying prescribed medicine the kuliti still gets bigger, go back to your pediatrician. Maybe your child is not compatible with the medicine.

      Hope your baby gets well soon.

    Styes are common. I also have them once in a while. I just put hot compress on it for a few minutes and the next day it’s gone.

    Yung kay Ayex naman sis mukhang kasalanan namin talaga. Hehehe.

    Her right eyelid looks much much better this morning than when I left yesterday for work. 🙂

    I hope Ayex gets better soon. I've had that before, when I was inkindergarten. I got it from one of my classmate. Nahawaan ko rin yung little sister ko. Pareho kaming naoperahan ng sister ko kasi pabalik-balik yung stye namin. The scar is still on my left eyelid. 🙁 Ingatan nyo na lang si Ayex. I remember bawal kami sa maalikabok noon. Pinagbawalan rin kaming kumain ng malalansang food.

    Lots of love,
