Question
My child is 2 years and 4 months old. About a month ago, a bump appeared under the eyelid. It was later diagnosed as a chalazion by a doctor, and it has been growing continuously and slightly reddening. It wasn’t red before. I want to know what the cause could be. Besides surgery, are there any other treatment methods?
Answer
Based on your description, your child may have a chalazion. If it does not subside over time, it is recommended to seek surgical treatment at a regular hospital. At the same time, it is suggested to maintain good eye hygiene for the child, regularly wash the child’s face and hands, and educate the child not to rub their eyes. In terms of diet, avoid eating foods that may cause diarrhea. These are suggestions for the question ‘What could be the cause of a 2-year-old and 4-month-old child having a chalazion?’ I hope this information is helpful to you, and wish you health!
