Patient's question:
The son of my third aunt has entered high school and is in his adolescence. He's very disobedient, always playing games, and doesn't go for tutoring. My third aunt has been having stomach problems lately. Yesterday, she felt uncomfortable with her eyes and went to the hospital. The doctor said she had a stye and could have a small surgery. She was so scared that she didn't eat dinner for a whole day. Hello, do you have any home remedies for treating a stye?Doctor's answer:
A chalazion is an infectious disease caused by sensitive bacterial infection, also known as hordeolum or meibomian glanditis. In the early stage, it primarily presents with redness, swelling, and pain, with increasing amounts of discharge. If not effectively treated, it may recur with acute inflammation. Early treatment mainly involves topical antibiotic eye drops, and oral antibiotics may be necessary if needed. If medication is ineffective, surgical treatment is required. There are no specific remedies for treating a chalazion. It is recommended to develop good eye habits and consume more fruits and vegetables.
