Question
What diseases can pediatric surgery treat? Which symptoms are considered pediatric internal medicine? Do children with eyelid swelling or chalazion require surgery?
Answer
Chalazion can be treated by applying heat to promote pus formation. For mild cases, heat application can usually resolve the issue, and chloramphenicol eye drops can also be used. If there is excessive secretion, rifampicin eye drops can be applied. If it does not burst after a long time, it is best to go to the hospital for incision to help drain the pus. Never try to squeeze it with your hands, as this can lead to many complications. Children have weaker body resistance, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery. For parents, do not rush; instead, take your child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, pay attention to regular checks for your child and use medication as directed by the doctor.
