What should I do if there is a small cyst under the baby's lower eyelid?

Patient's question:

My baby is two years old. A month ago, her lower eyelid was slightly swollen, and I noticed a few small white bumps inside. I initially thought they would absorb on their own, but now I've noticed that the bumps are not as many as before. However, one of them has grown larger without a noticeable protrusion, and the baby doesn't seem to feel any pain. The hospital examination recommended surgical treatment.

Doctor's answer:

The dangers of pain for the child. Then surgery is still needed. Otherwise, the cyst may rupture. The eye will have scars in the future. If the redness and swelling spread, or if there is high fever, headache, etc., it must be seen at the hospital as soon as possible to avoid the infection spreading to the orbital cellulitis due to delayed treatment. In fact, removing the plantar gland cyst is actually just a small surgery. And the child doesn't feel that guilty either. It's just afraid of crying non-stop. If you can do as much as possible.
