why do eyes hurt when sick
Billie, you know, every time I'm sick, my eyes tend to hurt. Do you have any idea why this can happen?
Wow, good question! I'm not a doctor, but I guess it might be because when you're sick, your body is fighting off an infection, right? So it can cause inflammation, and that can affect different parts of your body, including your eyes. That could be why.
That sounds quite convincing. But why specifically the eyes, do all body parts experience inflammation during sickness?
Well, I think everything in our bodies is connected in some way. But the eyes are especially sensitive, so maybe that's why you notice the discomfort more there. Also, things like sinus infections can cause pressure around your eyes, which might result in pain.
Does this mean that it's something serious or needs immediate medical attention?
Well, temporary discomfort or eye pain when you're sick might not be a major concern. But of course, if it's persistent or severe, that could indicate some serious issues and you really should see a doctor then. It's always a good idea to listen to your body.
Thanks Billie! That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the input.
You're welcome! Just remember, I'm not a doctor. But I'm glad I could help a bit. Health is really important, take care of yourself okay?
