How Can eye Lacrimal Caruncle Inflammation Be Treated?
Sir, i got my right eye lacrimal caruncle inflated. It is there since a week and still persisting. I did not go to opthalmologist but just my family doctor. He suggested me to use gentamycin eye drop. It is not at all painful or itchy. Is it the matter of concern?

Hello,
Based on the results of the diagnostic tests, the cause of the lacrimal gland swelling is determined. Depending on the cause of the swelling, the condition is treated.
If the cause is a viral condition such as the mumps, your doctor will prescribe rest and warm compresses.
If a more serious underlying disease is the cause, the disease will be first treated. Most patients recover completely from lacrimal gland swelling.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
