Can you drink alcohol for conjunctivitis?

You should not drink alcohol after suffering from conjunctivitis. Drinking alcohol will cause the blood vessels in the bulbous conjunctiva to dilate more significantly, making the symptoms of conjunctivitis significantly worse, and increasing the permeability of the blood vessels in the conjunctiva, which can increase the secretion in the conjunctival sac. In addition to not drinking alcohol, do not smoke, and try not to eat spicy and irritating foods such as chili, ginger, garlic, etc. You should have a balanced diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fresh fruits to replenish vitamins, and eat more high-quality proteins, such as dairy products, eggs, and lean meat.

Patients with conjunctivitis should also be treated with topical medication according to the doctor’s instructions, using the appropriate eye drops according to the specific type of conjunctivitis.
