A member asked:
I have chalazion for months now.. can i take amoxicillin to make the lump smaller?? or what antibiotic should i take or cream to make it smaller ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Eye MD: You should visit an ophthalmologist for treatment. Antibiotics have no effect on a chalazion. They sometimes will go away with warm compresses to the eyelid, but if this does not work, a steroid injection or surgical treatment is advised.
