Question

Can a child’s chalazion heal on its own? This condition has been going on for a while now, and I am very concerned, worried that it might become more severe. What advice do you have, doctor?

Answer

Most people won’t have any issues. The most common symptoms of a chalazion are swollen eyelids, redness, swelling, pain, or discomfort. I suggest you visit an ophthalmology hospital. If the condition is mild, eye drops can be used for treatment. If the situation is severe, surgery may be necessary. Please note personal hygiene, do not squeeze the chalazion with your hands, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and be careful not to touch it while bathing. Just wait for a while, and it will get better.
