What is the treatment for an eyelid bump?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Can you please send me an image of your eye, so that I can see the bump and comment on it?

Thank you.

Hello,

• It is a chalazion of the upper lid which is treatable. Due to inflammation, there is a swelling, and it appears like a lump.

• I suggest you take the following medication for a week:

1. Tablet Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice a day for three days.
2. Tablet Paracetamol once a day for three days.
3. Moxifloxacin eye ointment applied locally.
4. Systane Ultra (lubricating) eye drops twice a day.

• If it does not subside, you have to undergo a minor procedure. It is not scary at all. The eye is anesthetized, a small cut is made, and all the contents are scooped out. It is very safe and done as an outpatient procedure.

Thank you.

• Any Paracetamol tablet will be fine. You can take it in the morning after breakfast. The eye ointment is to be applied locally twice a day, in the morning and before bed.

• Do hot fomentation frequently.

• This treatment of eye ointment and eye drops is to be continued for a week. If the swelling does not subside, you can consult an eye care specialist.

Thank you.
