Brief Answer:
Need to search for the source of infection.
Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
There has to be a source of infection, which has to be looked into. Common sources of infection are from lid margin in the Meibomian glands, which are about 20 in the upper lid and 12 in the lower lid.
Another source may be the lacrimal sac. These have to be examined and source of infection to be searched and managed properly to solve the problem permanently.
I hope you have got a proper direction to manage the problem...
Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
