Question
A patient describes eyelid swelling, with the right eye swelling approximately the size of a green bean, and it is pink in color. The patient received treatment from December 14, 2009, to December 31, 2009, initially using erythromycin ointment and anti-inflammatory medication, followed by the use of Chuanhuang Ning liquid infusion for inflammation. The patient inquires about non-surgical treatment options.
Answer
It is recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture treatment, which has been found to be effective. The specific treatment methods are as follows:
- Trilateral needle bloodletting method: Select the ear apex point and the tip of the middle toe of the foot. After sterilization, use a trilateral needle to puncture the skin, performing this 1 to 2 times a day.
- Ear apex point needling method: Select the ear apex point, gently rub and massage it to make it engorged, then sterilize it and quickly puncture the point. Once blood flows out, apply pressure to the area until bleeding stops. In the acute phase, this is done every other day; in the chronic phase, 2 to 3 times every 2 to 3 days.
