Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have a swelling on my upper lid, it seems like a chalazion. I had it a year ago too. It looks like the same thing. I am applying a warm water compress. Is there any ointment or oral medicine I should take? Why does it happen and what can I do to treat it permanently?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Chalazion is a lump in the upper or lower eyelid caused by obstruction and inflammation of an oil gland of the eyelid. It is not a tumor and does not cause permanent changes in the vision. Chalazion goes away without the necessity of surgery.
RxErythromycin ointment apply locally qid 20 days.
Tablet Azithromycin 500 mg 1 tablet OD for 5 days.
Tablet Lansoprazole 30 mg 1 tablet od 10 days.
Tablet Etoricoxib 120 mg 1 tablet for 5 days.
Apply hot compress 8 hourly.
