Patient's question:
A three-year-old baby developed two small red bumps inside the lower eyelid on September 6th, which are not painful or itchy. During this period, they were examined at Renming Hospital, where the doctor diagnosed it as a chalazion and recommended using eye drops and oral anti-inflammatory medication, which were completed. Now, it has been almost two months, and the bumps are still not gone. Today, they went to the hospital for a thorough examination again, and the doctor said it is a hordeolum and suggested applying pressure to perform a small surgery. The child is too young, and I don’t want to make them suffer. Is there a way to treat this without surgery? I’d like to ask for your advice.Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition is indeed an inflammatory response caused by a hordeolum. It's best to have surgery to it. Using anti-inflammatory drugs can reduce swelling, but it won't remove the root cause. If it recurs, it will flare up again! Early surgery for the child is recommended! Don't worry, it's a minor procedure. It's done internally and doesn't interfere with appearance, and it's not too painful. This is a common outpatient condition! Children who frequently suffer from it also endure a lot of pain! The above advice is for the question "A three-year-old baby developed two small red bumps inside the left lower eyelid since September 6th, without pain." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
