Patient's question:
Doctor! My baby is 7 years old and has been diagnosed with a chalazion in his eye, the size of a red bean. The doctor recommended surgery. Are there no other treatment methods besides surgery? If surgery is performed, what is the cost? Will it recur in the future?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, it is likely a stye. The recurring cause is bacterial infection. If the recurrence is recent, it is recommended to apply cold compresses, use topical erythromycin ointment, and take amoxicillin capsules orally. If it has already become inflamed, surgical incision and dressing change treatment is necessary. Fees vary by region and hospital level, so it is best to consult the local hospital for pricing. Since this is caused by a bacterial infection, pay attention to local hygiene. Generally, it will not recur.
