Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Last Sunday, I noticed a pimple had grown on the edge of the baby's eye, and it was very painful. Later, some experienced elders took a look and said it was a hordeolum, which would heal on its own. Now it has been a week, and it still hasn't completely gone away. Hello. How long does it take for a hordeolum to completely heal?Doctor's answer:
A chalazion, if it recurs with mild symptoms, can gradually and slowly heal on its own. This period usually lasts for 1-2 weeks. If there is a recurrence of significant pain, timely medication treatment is necessary. The primary treatment involves the prompt use of antibiotics for anti-inflammatory purposes. Such conditions are typically treated with topical medications such as eye drops or ointments.
