Q: My eyelid edema and protruding eyeballs are getting significantly worse day by day, how should I treat them? A: You are currently in the active phase of thyroid-related ophthalmopathy (hyperthyroidism), and treatment measures include: glucocorticoid therapy, orbital radiation therapy, immunosuppressants, growth hormone analogs, immunoglobulins, etc.. It is now clear that intravenous administration (high-dose methylprednisolone shock therapy) is the better way to administer the drug. Hospitalization is required. Usually 2-4 hospitalizations are required. The average hospitalization is 1 time per month for about 4 days each time. Orbital radiation therapy can be combined if necessary. Studies have confirmed that radiation therapy is an effective treatment option for thyroid-related eye disease and that the combination of systemic glucocorticoids can improve the efficacy of orbital radiation therapy.
