What should I do if there is white on the left eyelid of a child?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Okay, from the surface, there's a little bump under the child's left eyelid. When touched with a hand, it feels like a grain, maybe about 1.5mm. When the lid is flipped up, the inside looks whitish. Flipping the lower lid, a small white spot is seen, without any bump. Also, no reaction was observed, and it's said it doesn't hurt.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
Help desired: Please: What is this? What should be done?

Doctor's answer:

You mentioned that your child's eyelid surface shows a slight protrusion on the left eyelid, which feels like small grains when touched, possibly about 1.5mm. Without any symptoms of redness or pain, it might be a chalazion. A chalazion is a common clinical diagnosis. It is also known as a meibomian gland cyst, which is caused by the obstruction of the meibomian gland duct and the retention of secretions, leading to a chronic inflammatory granuloma of the meibomian gland. Both children and adults can develop this condition.
