For patients with Chlamydia trachomatis infection, it is important to maintain personal hygiene in daily life. Wash items such as towels and washbasins should be used separately from those of family members. Avoid rubbing the eyes with hands. Under a doctor's guidance, prompt treatment should be pursued, including topical medications such as rifampicin eye drops or phthalazol eye drops, along with oral antibiotics like azithromycin or clarithromycin. Adequate rest is essential, and the diet should be light and清淡 (note: "清淡" translated as "light" here, commonly refers to low-fat, low-spice, easily digestible foods).
