Patient's question:
My child has a chalazion. There was a small pimple in the middle of the right eye earlier, and I've been using eye drops to gradually reduce it. However, yesterday, a large pimple suddenly appeared again at the corner of the right eye. This one doesn't have a white head, and when I touch it, it feels very large. I'd like to ask if it's possible to have surgery now or if I should wait a bit longer.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, let's consider how to treat the child's hordeolum. It is recommended to give the child oral anti-inflammatory medication such as cephalexin, use Tobradex eye drops locally, apply erythromycin ointment, have the child drink more water, avoid sugary and junk foods, and apply cold compresses—be careful not to make it too hot to burn. The above suggestions are for the question "Can a child with hordeolum have surgery now?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
