A member asked:
What kind of oral antibiotics should i consume for a chalazion on my eyelid? i tried researching but i'm not so sure what kind to buy.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral antibiotics may not be the best option; you may want to see an eye specialist because eyes are very important in the body and this may not be a do it yourself project. A topical approach may be better in view of dangers of systemic antibiotics for a very local problem.
