Is there a treatment for chalazion for a 3 year old?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Warm compresses: The initial rx for this process is warm compresses with or without antibiotic eye drops. If the inflamed gland does not respond over time the area can be incised from the inside surface of the eyelid & the material removed, followed by a week or so of eye drops.

Yes: Still try hot compresses, sometimes antibiotics before surgically draining it.
