Patient's question:
The little girl is over two years old. She has a lump inside her right lower eyelid. What is it? How should it be treated? It has been about a month. Eye drops haven't helped. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, a lump under the lower eyelid is usually a sign of a chalazion, which is primarily caused by the blockage of the meibomian gland's drainage duct. It is recommended that you visit an ophthalmology department in the hospital for a definitive diagnosis. If it is indeed a chalazion and it has already grown quite large, it is not possible to treat it solely with eye drops. Currently, you can try using local heat application for treatment. If there is no improvement, surgical intervention should be considered.
