A member asked:
How long do i wait for a chalazion to go away? i'm using prescribed gentamicin sulfate opthalmic solution, and have been doing so for about five days
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That won't work: Gentamicin is an antibiotic. A chalazion is a blocked gland and not an infection. The treatment is warm compresses as often as possible and if that doesn't work (it almost always does) surgery.
