Specializes in General Practice

Warm compresses: A chalazion is a swollen bump on the eyelid and warm compresses 3-5 times daily helps the clogged oil gland to open and drain. If your chalazion is very swollen, your ophthalmologist may give you cortisone to decrease the swelling and may prescribe an antibiotic if there is an infection. So I suggest seeing your ophthalmologist for an exam.
