Again, if you are suffering from bacterial blepharitis in particular, then you might notice that you feel somewhat unwell in yourself. This is due to the effect that any infection can have on the body. Your system will attempt to drive out the invading bacteria<\/a>, which it will do by elevating your heart rate, causing swelling, making you feel nauseous (potentially causing vomiting), and generally making you feel \u2018under the weather\u2019. A fever is also a common symptom of blepharitis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor all these reasons, you should try to rest yourself and take it easy while you are suffering from this condition. Keep in mind that it is not just a skin condition in some cases, but actually an illness. Try to monitor your condition. Keep drinking water to make sure that you don\u2019t become dehydrated due to fever, and use meds to reduce the severity of the painful symptoms. If you find that your blepharitis also causes congestion in your sinuses, then this extra pressure and streaming can exacerbate the other irritating side effects.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nYou probably look a little bit like you just stepped out of a zombie movie, so embrace the opportunity to stay at home and hide!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
