Question
The three-month-old baby’s eyes are red and swollen. There has been no improvement for two months. The doctor diagnosed it as a chalazion and prescribed tobramycin eye drops and ointment, but there has been no improvement.
Answer
I’m glad to provide you with some advice! If the chalazion persists for two months without improvement, it usually means it may have transformed into a chronic condition. It is recommended to apply cold compresses to the affected area, three to four times a day, for 10 to 15 minutes each time. After continuing this method for three days, if there is any improvement, you can continue with this approach; if there is no improvement or the condition worsens, please go back to the ophthalmologist for examination and treatment as soon as possible. These are the suggestions for the question “What to do when a three-month-old baby’s eyes are red and swollen?” I hope this helps you, and wish your baby good health.
