[Treatment policy]

To prevent infection, do not make an incision before an abscess is formed, and avoid squeezing it with your hands.

[Drug treatment]

Patients with systemic fever and swollen preauricular and submandibular lymph nodes can be treated with antibiotics.

[Surgical treatment]

When the inflammation is under control and pus accumulates to form a fluctuating feeling, it can be drained by incision, and the necrotic or granulation tissue can be properly cleaned. Depending on the situation, placement of a drainage strip can be considered. After the inflammation subsides, if there is still residual granulation tissue or nodules left, surgical removal can be performed again. However, it should be noted that the skin incision of the external hordeolum should be parallel to the eyelid margin, and the conjunctival incision of the internal hordeolum should be perpendicular to the eyelid margin.

[Other treatments]

Early moist heat compress or magnetic field therapy can promote the absorption of infiltration or rapid suppuration of nodules.

[Daily Care]

1. Don't overstrain your eyes. People with poor eyesight need to wear suitable glasses to avoid blinking too often, which will cause the gland opening to be gradually blocked by secretions. 2. Do not use dirty hands to remove eye mucus or wipe your eyes, and do not trim or pluck eyelashes. Do not rub your eyes with dirty hands as this may allow bacteria to enter through the gland openings. 3. Pay attention to keeping bowel movements smooth, eat more vegetables and fruits, and have regular bowel movements.

[Dietary adjustment]

It is advisable to eat light diuretic foods, such as cucumber, winter melon, watermelon, celery, etc., and avoid tobacco, alcohol, sweet, greasy and spicy foods.
