Internal Hordeolum 2 weeks old
I was diagnosed with an internal hordeolum on my upper eyelid about 2 weeks back... the Dr gave me antibiotics & anti inflammatory medicines. The pain has completely gone, the swelling has also considerably reduced. However there is a very small bump on the eyelid that has still not gone. What should I do so that the bump goes completely? It's just been 2 weeks... its a miniscule bump thats remaining.

The miniscule bump is called as Chalazion.
Hot Compress (not warm compress) over swelling 3-4 times a day will help
If no resolution in 2 weeks, surgical excision is advised.
Kindly get an online consultation to address all your concerns
