Swollen eyes caused by fever may be caused by colds, conjunctivitis, acute nephritis, subacute thyroiditis and other reasons.
1. Colds: The body temperature rises after infection with viruses or bacteria, resulting in fever. When you have a fever, the blood circulation in your body speeds up, which in turn causes the conjunctiva of the eyeballs to become congested and edematous, manifesting itself as swollen eyes. In addition, the fever will also lead to general body aches and pains, poor sleep, which in turn affects the blood circulation around the eyes, resulting in swelling of the eyes.
2. Conjunctivitis: When viral infection leads to colds, it not only causes fever, but also leads to the spread of infection, and when combined with viral conjunctivitis, conjunctival edema, eye pain, photophobia and other symptoms will occur.
3. Acute nephritis: colds caused by infection with type B hemolytic streptococcus can lead to the occurrence of immune response, so that the immune response complexes are deposited in the kidneys through the blood circulation, thus leading to the formation of acute nephritis. Symptoms such as oliguria or anuria, elevated blood pressure, and morning eyelid edema occur.
4. Subacute thyroiditis: When you have a cold, it can lead to fever, and at the same time expand the scope of viral infection, which can lead to subacute thyroiditis, resulting in the destruction of the thyroid follicles, which can lead to abnormalities in thyroid function. When the symptoms of hypothyroidism appear, the plasma protein concentration is decreasing, and the eye tissues are loosened, which leads to the symptom of swollen eyes.
When the fever caused by the swelling of the eyes, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause of the disease, and follow the doctor’s instructions for targeted treatment.
