WHAT IS HEPATITIS B?
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease.
The virus is most commonly transmitted from mother to child during birth and delivery, as well as through contact with blood or other body fluids during s*x with an infected partner, unsafe injections or exposures to sharp instruments.

Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is a major global health problem. It can cause chronic infection and puts people at high risk of death from cirrhosis and liver cancer.

SYMPTOMS OF HEPATITIS B:

Most people do not experience any symptoms when newly infected.
However, some people have acute illness with symptoms that last several weeks, including yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), dark urine, extreme fatigue, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. People with acute hepatitis can develop acute liver failure, which can lead to death.

TREATMENT

A healthcare provider may offer you different treatment options based on the status of the infection.

Vaccination. Healthcare providers recommend an immediate dose of the hepatitis B vaccine if you haven’t had it yet, preferably within 24 hours of exposure. You’ll need two more doses over the next six months to become fully vaccinated against the virus.

Hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG). HBIG is a substance made from human blood containing naturally-produced antibodies to the hepatitis B virus. It’s given as a shot to help prevent infection in people who’ve recently been exposed to the virus.

🖊WHAT IS DEHYDRATION???
🖊🖊HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED DEHYDRATION BEFORE?????🖊🖊🖊
Dehydration happens when you don’t drink enough water, or when you lose water quickly through, for example, sweating, vomiting and/or diarrhea. Certain medications such as diuretics (water pills) can result in increased urination and dehydration.

🖊🖊WHAT DOES WATER 💦 DO FOR THE BODY??
Between about 55% to about 78% of your body is made of water. Newborn babies are about 78% water, a year-old baby is 65%, adult men are about 60% and adult women are about 55%. Your brain is made up of 73% water, and so is your heart. Your bones are 31% water, muscles and kidneys are 79% and your skin is 64%. A whopping 83% of water makes up your lungs.

Water helps:

Aid digestion and get rid of waste.
Work your joints. Water lubricates them.
Make saliva (which you need to eat).
Balance your body’s chemicals. Your brain needs it to create hormones and neurotransmitters.
Deliver oxygen all over your body.
Cushion your bones.
Regulate your body temperature.

🖊🖊🖊SIGNS OF DEHYDRATION

Headache, delirium, confusion.
Tiredness (fatigue).
Dizziness, weakness, light-headedness.
Dry mouth and/or a dry cough.
High heart rate but low blood pressure.
Loss of appetite but maybe craving sugar.
Flushed (red) skin. Swollen feet. Muscle cramps.
Heat intolerance, or chills.
Dark-colored p*e (urine). Your p*e should be a pale clear color.

🖊CATEGORIES OF DEHYDRATION

Mild. You just have to take in more fluids orally (by mouth). Drink water, but replace fluids with a drink that contains electrolytes if you experience significant sweating or fluid losses from vomiting and diarrhea. You should feel better after five or 10 minutes.

Moderate. Moderate dehydration requires an IV (intravenous hydration). You’ll get this in an urgent care, emergency room, or hospital.

Severe. See a healthcare provider if your symptoms of dehydration are severe.

Leukaemia
It is a cancer which starts in blood forming tissue usually the bone marrow. It leads to the over production of
abnormal white blood cells the part of the immune system which defends the body against infection.
Causes
Exact cause of leukemia is not known. Risk factors have been known containing radiation
exposure, certain chemotherapy for cancer, smoking,
family history of leukemia and exposure to certain
chemicals such as benzene.
Symptom
➢ Fever or chills.
➢ Persistent fatigue or weakness.
➢ Frequent or severe infections.
➢ Losing weight without trying.
➢ Swollen lymph nodes, enlarged liver or spleen.
➢ Easy bleeding or bruising.
➢ Recurrent nosebleeds.
➢ Tiny red spots in skin (petechiae)
Treatments
➢ Chemotherapy (major treatment modality for leukemia)
➢ Radiation therapy,
➢ Biological therapy,
➢ Targeted therapy
➢ Stem cell transplant

Kawasaki disease is a rare syndrome of unknown origin that affects children. It involves inflammation of the blood vessels, and it affects the arteries. It can have a serious long-term effect on the heart.

Symptoms
Signs and symptoms develop in three phases.

Acute phase, or phase 1
Symptoms appear from day 1 to 11. They emerge suddenly and are usually intense.

They include:

High body temperature, or fever, which continues for at least 5 days and may reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit or 40 degrees Celsius. The fever does not respond to over-the-counter (OTC) painkillers, such as ibuprofen or Tylenol (paracetamol)
Conjunctivitis in both eyes, where the whites of the eyes become red, and the eyes may be itchy, watery, and sore
Sore throat
Swollen, chapped, and dry lips
Red, swollen tongue, often with small lumps at the back, sometimes referred to as strawberry tongue
Swollen lymph glands and lumpiness on the neck
A rash on the arms, legs, and torso, and between the ge****ls and the a**s
A second rash on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, which may be accompanied by p*eling skin
Children who develop a rash may find it uncomfortable to move their legs.

Sub-acute, second phase
Symptoms appear from days 12 to 21. They are less severe, but they may persist for longer. The body temperature should return to normal.

Symptoms may include:

Peeling of the skin on toes and fingers
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Abdominal pain
Joint pain
Joint swelling
Jaundice
Lack of appetite
Complications are more likely to occur during this phase and the child may experience more pain and be moody.

Convalescent, or third phase
This phase lasts from about day 22 to day 60. Symptoms improve, and the patient gradually recovers until all signs of the disease are gone.

The main concern is that Kawasaki can affect the vessels around the heart so the patient must undergo evaluation with an echocardiogram.

Causes
Experts do not know what causes Kawasaki disease.

One possibility is that it may be an abnormal response to a common virus that most people do not react to. Symptoms resemble those of a virus or an infection, but no specific viral or bacterial cause has been identified.

Another is that it is an autoimmune disorder, where the body's immune system attacks its own good tissue as if it were a pathogen, or organism that causes disease.

Risk factors
The following may be considered risk factors for Kawasaki disease:

Age: It is more likely between the ages of 1 year and 5 years
Gender: Boys are more likely than girls to develop it
Ethnic background: People of Asian ancestry, specifically Japanese or Chinese, and Black Americans are more susceptible to Kawasaki disease
Genetics: If the parents had Kawasaki disease, their offspring may be more likey to have it, suggesting that it may be linked to an inherited gene
Environment: In the northern hemisphere, from January through March, the rate is 40 percent higher than in August through October.
Some suggest it may be a reaction to some toxins or medications, but clinical evidence is lacking.

Diagnosis
To have a diagnosis of Kawasaki disease, there must be a fever for 5 or more days as well as four out of five main other findings:

Conjunctivitis
Changes in the lips or mouth
Enlarged lymph nodes in the neck
Rash on the body
Changes on the hands or soles of feet
Currently, no one specific test can confirm Kawasaki disease.

Since the symptoms are similar to other childhood diseases, including the measles, scarlet fever, and juvenile arthritis, some tests may be ordered to eliminate those diseases.

A physician will consider the patient's symptoms and carry out a physical examination.

Blood and other tests can check for:

An elevated white blood count
Inflammation in the joints
A high sedimentation rate
Mild anemia
The presence of protein or white blood cells in the urine
An echocardiogram can check for damage to the heart and coronary arteries.

Tests
Tests that may be carried out include:

Urine test: This can help indicate whether something else may be causing symptoms.
Platelet count: Platelets are cells in the blood that clump together to help stop bleeding, and in Kawasaki disease, they are usually high.
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) test: A sample of red blood cells is placed into a test tube of liquid. If the time taken for the red blood cells to fall to the bottom is fast, this can indicate an inflammatory condition, such as Kawasaki.
C-reactive protein (CRP) test: A high level of C-reactive protein in the blood, produced by the liver, can indicate an inflammation.
Sodium test: Low sodium may be present.
Albumin test: There may be low levels of albumin, a protein, in the blood.
Kawasaki disease can affect the heart.

The following tests may be ordered:

Electrocardiogram (ECG): This device records electrical activity and heart rhythms. Electrodes are attached to the patient's skin, and impulses are recorded as waves and displayed on a screen or printed on paper.
Echocardiogram: An ultrasound scan that checks the pumping action of the heart. Sound waves create a video image of the patient's heart, and this helps the doctor see how well it is pumping.
Treatment
Kawasaki disease is usually treated in hospital, because of the risk of complications. Prompt treatment increases the chance of a faster recovery and reduces the risk complications.

Some medications are used in treatment.

Aspirin: Kawasaki disease leads to a very high blood platelet count, and a higher risk of clots forming in the bloodstream. Aspirin helps prevent blood clots and reduces the fever, rash and joint inflammation. A high dose will normally be necessary.

The patient must be monitored for undesirable side effects. Aspirin therapy may continue for several weeks after recovery from symptoms.

Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG): This decreases the risk of coronary aneurysms, but how it works remains unclear.

Corticosteroids and tumor necrosis factor inhibitors: These may be used if other therapies do not work.

The patient must receive plenty of fluids, to avoid dehydration.

After initial treatment
There will be some longer term treatment.

If a coronary artery aneurysm develops, aspirin treatment will continue for longer, but if the patient develops flu or chickenpox during treatment they will have to stop taking aspirin.

Although heart problems are rare, it is crucial to monitor the heart.

If there are any indications of heart problems, the doctor may order follow-up tests, usually 6 to 8 weeks after symptoms started.

If the heart problems persist, the doctor may refer the patient to a pediatric cardiologist, a doctor specialized in diagnosing and treating childhood heart problems.

The following may be necessary:

Anticoagulant medications, such as warfarin, heparin, or aspirin, to prevent blood clots
Coronary artery angioplasty, a procedure opens up an artery that has narrowed by inflating a small balloon inside the artery
Alongside the angioplasty, a stent may be placed in a clogged artery to help prop it open, reducing the risk of it blocking again
In a coronary artery bypass graft, blood flow is rerouted round a diseased coronary artery by grafting a section of blood vessel from the chest, arm or leg to use as the alternate route.

The bypass goes round the blocked artery, allowing blood to pass through into the heart muscle.

Complications
Prompt treatment reduces the risk of complications, and most patients do not experience further problems.

Although heart problems are rare, The American Academy of Pediatrics notes that Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in infants and young children in the U.S.

The Arthritis Foundation note that up to 1 in 4 children may develop problems in their coronary arteries, even with proper treatment, and Kawasaki disease is fatal in about 1 percent of cases.

Left untreated, Kawasaki disease can cause serious complications, including an aneurysm.

If an aneurysm develops, the blood vessels leading to the heart become inflamed, causing a section of the artery wall to weaken and bulge outwards. If the aneurysm does not heal itself, a blood clot can form, which raises the risk of a heart attack or internal bleeding if the aneurysm bursts.

Other complications include:

Heart muscles and heart valves malfunction
Myocarditis, an inflammation of the myocardium, or heart muscle
Pericarditis, an inflammation of the pericardium, the lining around the heart
Heart failure or heart attack
Kawasaki disease can affect other body systems including the nervous, immune, digestive, and urinary systems.

People who have had Kawasaki disease may be advised to have an echocardiogram every 1 to 2 years, to screen for heart problems.

Myocardial Infarction (MI)
It also known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart.

Causes

The causes of myocardial infarction, or a heart attack, all involve some kind of blockage of one or more of the
coronary arteries. The coronary arteries provide the heart with oxygenated blood, and if they become blocked, the
heart will become oxygen starved, killing heart tissue and causing a heart attack.

Symptoms

➢ Pressure, tightness, pain, or a
squeezing or aching sensation in
your chest or arms that may spread
to your neck, jaw or back.
➢ Nausea, indigestion, heartburn or
abdominal pain.
➢ Shortness of breath.
➢ Cold sweat.
➢ Fatigue.
➢ Lightheadedness or sudden
dizziness

Diagnoses

An electrocardiogram (EKG) may be done
to measure your heart's electrical activity. Blood tests can also be used to check for proteins that are associated
with heart damage, such as troponin. Other diagnostic tests include: a stress test to see how your heart responds
to certain situations, such as exercise.

Treatments

Antiplatelet drugs, such as clopidogrel, can be used to prevent new clots from forming and existing clots from
growing. Nitroglycerin can be used to widen your blood vessels. Beta-blockers lower your blood pressure and
relax your heart muscle. This can help limit the severity of damage to your heart.

EFFECTS OF FATTY FOODS ON OUR BODY

Greasy foods are not only found at fast food stores but are also common in office meals, restaurants, schools and even in many people's home menus. Most foods that are fried or cooked with excess oil are considered greasy foods. These include fries, pizza, onion rings, cheese sticks, and donuts.

1. Bloating, upset stomach and diarrhea
Of the macronutrients like carbs, fat and protein - fat is digested the slowest. Because greasy foods contain high amounts of fat, this nutrient slows stomach emptying, which can cause bloating, nausea, and stomach pain.
In people with digestive conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic pancreatitis or an upset stomach, high-fat foods can cause stomach pain, cramping, and diarrhea .

2. Weaken your gut microbiome
Fatty foods are known to harm the good bacteria that live in the gut. These probiotics help support:
Fiber digestion. Our gut bacteria break down fiber to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which have anti-inflammatory effects and may protect against digestive disorders Immune support. Gut microbiota communicates with immune cells to help control the body's response to infections Weight regulation. An imbalance of gut bacteria can contribute to weight gain Gut health.

3. May lead to weight gain and obesity
Greasy foods, cooked with large amounts of fat, can cause weight gain due to their high calorie count. Obesity is linked associated with many negative health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and some cancers. In particular, a high level of trans fat in the body can cause weight gain.

4. May increase risk of heart disease and stroke
Fatty foods have a number of negative effects on heart health. For example, fried foods have been shown to raise blood pressure, lower HDL (good) cholesterol, and lead to weight gain and obesity, all of which have been linked to heart disease. Research shows that potato chips increase inflammation and may contribute to heart disease.

5. May Increase Your Risk of Diabetes
Fatty foods can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. The consumption of fast food, including not only greasy foods but also sugary drinks, leads to high calories, weight gain, poor blood sugar control and increased inflammation.

6. Decreasing brain function
A diet high in fatty foods, can cause problems with brain function. Weight gain, high blood pressure, and the metabolic syndrome associated with fatty foods have also been linked to damage to brain structure, tissue, and functioning. Two large studies in 5,083 and 18,080 people, found that a diet high in fatty and fried foods reduced learning and memory, as well as increased inflammation.

WHAT LEADS TO TUBERCULOSIS (TB)?

DISEASE DEFINITION
Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease and the reason for the death of 1.5 million people each year.

In most healthy people, the immune system is able to destroy the bacteria that cause TB.

But in some cases, the bacteria infect the body but do not cause any symptoms (latent TB), or the infection begins to cause symptoms within weeks, months or even years (active TB).

SYMPTOMS OF TUBERCULOSIS

Symptoms of active TB include
a chronic cough,
fever
chills
loss of appetite
weight loss
and fatigue.
Chest pain
Trouble breathing
Coughing up blood or phlegm

While it generally affects the lungs, it can also affect other parts of the body. These symptoms can be mild for many months before becoming severe, which is why timely detection is important.

Tuberculosis is spread through the air, which means you can only get it by breathing contaminated air. If someone who is actively sick talks, coughs, sneezes, or speaks they can spread TB.

The bacteria do not live on surfaces, so you can’t get TB by:

Shaking hands
Using a toilet
Sharing drinking glasses or eating utensils
Touching other surfaces

It is spread through the air when people with TB cough, sneeze, spit, or speak.
Only a few of these germs inhaled can cause infection. People who smoke ci******es have almost double the risk of contracting TB than those who don’t smoke. TB is also closely linked to overcrowding and malnutrition.

WHO IS MOSTLY AT RISK ?

Anyone can get TB, but those at greatest risk include people:
Risk factors for TB include:

Poverty
HIV infection
Homelessness
Being in jail or prison (where close contact can spread infection)
Substance abuse
Taking medication that weakens the immune system
Kidney disease and diabetes
Organ transplants
Working in healthcare
Air pollution
Cancer
Smoking to***co
Etc……

PREVENTION OF TUBERCULOSIS

Keeping your immune system healthy and avoiding exposure to someone with active TB is the best way to prevent a TB infection.

Identifying and treating cases of latent TB, before the disease can become active, is also important, particularly in high-risk populations.

To prevent the transmission of tuberculosis in healthcare settings, the CDC's latest guidelines that require most healthcare personnel be screened for tuberculosis when they’re hired.

TREATMENT AND MEDICAL OPTIONS FOR TUBERCULOSIS

While the disease is still a cause of death in many parts of the world, TB is almost always able to be treated and cured.
But it requires careful adherence to the instructions on how to take medication, in order to eliminate all the bacteria and avoid developing drug resistance, according to the CDC.

Remembering to take medicine for such a long period of time can be challenging. One of the biggest worries during TB treatment is people stopping their medication before all the bacteria dies. The leftover bacteria can continue to grow and become resistant to antibiotics. This makes the disease much more dangerous and harder to treat.

✍️WHAT LEADS TO STROKE?✍️✍️🤔

✅ Stroke is a serious life-threatening medical condition that happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off.

✅An ischemic stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes.

✅A stroke is a medical emergency, and prompt treatment is crucial. Early action can reduce brain damage and other complications.

✍️SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF STROKE ✍️

✅Trouble speaking and understanding what others are saying. You may experience confusion, slur words or have difficulty understanding sp*ech.

✅Paralysis or numbness of the face, arm or leg. You may develop sudden numbness, weakness or paralysis in the face, arm or leg. This often affects just one side of the body.

✅Problems seeing in one or both eyes. You may suddenly have blurred or blackened vision in one or both eyes, or you may see double.
✅Headache. A sudden, severe headache, which may be accompanied by vomiting, dizziness or altered consciousness, may indicate that you're having a stroke.

✅Trouble walking. You may stumble or lose your balance. You may also have sudden dizziness or a loss of coordination.

✍️✍️CAUSES OF STROKE ✍️✍️

✍️A blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Some people may have only a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain, known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), that doesn't cause lasting symptoms.

✍️✍️ISCHEMIC STROKE ✍️ ✍️

✅This is the most common type of stroke. It happens when the brain's blood vessels become narrowed or blocked, causing severely reduced blood flow (ischemia).

✅Blocked or narrowed blood vessels are caused by fatty deposits that build up in blood vessels or by blood clots or other debris that travel through the bloodstream, most often from the heart, and lodge in the blood vessels in the brain.

✍️✍️HEMORRHAGE STROKE ✍️✍️

✅Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or ruptures. Brain hemorrhages can result from many conditions that affect the blood vessels. Factors related to hemorrhagic stroke include:

✅Uncontrolled high blood pressure
Overtreatment with blood thinners (anticoagulants)
✅Bulges at weak spots in your blood vessel walls (aneurysms)
✅Trauma (such as a car accident)
✅Protein deposits in blood vessel walls that lead to weakness in the vessel wall (cerebral amyloid angiopathy)

✍️✍️Ischemic stroke leading to hemorrhage
A less common cause of bleeding in the brain is the rupture of an irregular tangle of thin-walled blood vessels (arteriovenous malformation).

✍️RISK FACTORS ✍️✍️

✅Being overweight or obese
✅Physical inactivity
✅Heavy or binge drinking
✅Use of illegal drugs such as co***ne and methamphetamine

✍️✍️MEDICAL RISK FACTORS ✍️✍️

✅High blood pressure
✅Cigarette smoking or secondhand smoke exposure
✅High cholesterol
✅Diabetes
✅Obstructive sleep apnea
✅Cardiovascular disease, including heart failure, heart defects, heart infection or irregular heart rhythm, such as atrial fibrillation
✅Personal or family history of stroke, heart attack or transient ischemic attack

✍️✍️Other factors associated with a higher risk of stroke include:✍️✍️

✅Age — People age 55 or older have a higher risk of stroke than do younger people.
✅Race or ethnicity — African Americans and ✅Hispanics have a higher risk of stroke than do people of other races or ethnicities.
✅Sex — Men have a higher risk of stroke than do women. Women are usually older when they have strokes, and they're more likely to die of strokes than are men.
✅Hormones — Use of birth control pills or hormone therapies that include estrogen increases risk.

✍️PREVENTION OF STROKE ✍️✍️

✅Controlling high blood pressure (hypertension)
✅Lowering the amount of cholesterol and saturated fat in your diet.
✅Quitting to***co use.
✅Maintaining a healthy weight.
✅Exercising regularly.
✅Drinking alcohol in moderation, if at all.
✅Treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
✅Avoiding illegal drugs.

✍️✍️PREVENTIVE MEDICATIONS ✍️✍️

✅Anti-platelet drugs. Platelets are cells in the blood that form clots. Anti-platelet drugs make these cells less sticky and less likely to clot. The most commonly used anti-platelet medication is aspirin. Your doctor can help you determine the right dose of aspirin for you.

✅Anticoagulants. These drugs reduce blood clotting. Heparin is fast acting and may be used short-term in the hospital.

✍️✍️✍️✍️WHAT IS DIARRHEA?
Diarrhea is passing looser, watery or more frequent poo (stools) than is normal for you.

✍️✍️WHAT CAUSES DIARRHEA ??
There are many different causes of diarrhea. A bowel infection (gastroenteritis) is a common cause in both adults and children.

Gastroenteritis can be caused by:
✍️A virus – such as norovirus or rotavirus
✍️Bacteria – such as campylobacter and Escherichia (E. coli), which are often picked up from contaminated food
✍️A parasite – such as the parasite that causes giardiasis, which is spread in contaminated water.

✍️✍️WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE DIARRHEA ??
👍🏻You should drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Drink small sips of water often. It's very important that babies and children do not become dehydrated.
👍🏻Your pharmacist may suggest you use an oral rehydration solution (ORS) if you or you child are particularly at risk of dehydration.

👍🏻You should eat solid foods as soon as you feel able to. If you're breastfeeding or bottle feeding your baby and they have diarrhoea, you should try to feed them as normal.

👍🏻Stay at home until at least 48 hours after the last episode of diarrhoea to prevent spreading any infection to others.

👍🏻You should see your health care provider if the condition persists.

✍️✍️WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS OF DIARRHEA?
Signs and symptoms associated with diarrhea (loose, watery stools) may include:

👍🏻Abdominal cramps or pain
👍🏻Bloating
👍🏻Nausea
👍🏻Vomiting
👍🏻Fever
👍🏻Blood in the stool
👍🏻Mucus in the stool

✍️✍️DO YOU KNOW THAT GONORRHEA CAN AFFECT THE EYE 👁?

👍🏻Gonorrhea is caused by the Neisseria gonorrhoeae bacterium. This bacterium infects the body’s mucous membranes. Because it’s a s*xually transmitted disease, gonorrhea normally affects parts of the body involved in s*xual contact, including the urethra, throat, cervix, or re**um. However, it can also affect the eye if it comes in contact with infected bodily fluids or mucous membranes.

✍️HOW DOES GONORRHEA ENTER THE EYE 👁?
👍🏻An infected person ej******es or urinates in or around their partner’s eyes.
👍🏻Someone touches their eyes after coming in contact with infected urine, semen, or vaginal fluid.
👍🏻A newborn baby contracts gonorrhea when it comes in contact with bacteria in the birth canal.

SYMPTOMS OF GONORRHEA IN THE EYE 👁:

👍🏻Watery discharge from the eye, which becomes a green, white, or yellow pus-like discharge over time. This typically forms a crust over the eye.
👍🏻Sensitivity to light.
👍🏻Swelling around the eye.
👍🏻Difficulty opening the eye.
👍🏻Pain around the eye.
👍🏻Redness in and around the eye.
