A member asked:

With warm wet compress once a day and doxycycline once a day, how long will it take to unclog meiboman glands that've been clogged for about 3 months?

Time for I&D: Your meibomian gland has been clogged for 3 months despite repeated with warm compress and oral antibiotic. Usually antibiotics are not indicated. warm compress should be applied more frequent than once a day. It became a chronic condition (persistent chalazion) or recalcitrant internal hordelolum . See ophthalmologist for an incision and curettage. Good luck https://www.facebook.com/drqueanhchu
