Suggest Treatment For Calazion On The Eye Lid

Hi- I have a calazion on my eye lid. I am using rx clyndamicin eye drops four times per day. Washing my eyes with Baby shampoo 2-3 times per day..Sometimes it appears as if it is smaller and going away..the redness has decreased, however it is still present, almost the same in size. On medication 7 days...any suggestions? does not hurt btw.

Hi..
Welcome TO HCM..
For chalazion you need to use antibiotic ointment also along with eye drops..
You need to do hot fomentation also at least 3times a day for 10-15 min..
If it doesn't subside in 3 weeks you need to go for incision and drainage..
Keep using the drops and ointment also..
Hope this information is helpful to you..Will be available for further queries..
Take care..
Regards..
