Patient's question:
Eyes swollen for 4, 5 days, too hot. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Today, styes, eye drops, ointment, what kind of help: Expect not to have surgeryDoctor's answer:
By chance, I noticed small lumps the size of green beans to beans under my eyelids, with no redness or pain when touched. Small chalazions don't require any treatment, but larger ones can easily compress the eye, leading to astigmatism, and also increase the risk of purulent infection. Therefore, surgery is needed to remove them. If the condition isn't too severe, you can take some traditional Chinese medicine, mainly those that clear heat and detoxify. Western medicine primarily focuses on cold compresses, three times a day, for 10 to 20 minutes each time. It can also be combined with anti-inflammatory medications for treatment.
