Chalazion- Stye Treatment?

Question

Does any one know how to get rid of these.. my daughter is 5 and has one and the only answers i keep getting are surgical which is something i really dont want to have to put her through!!! HELP!

Answer 1

Warm compresses for five minutes, do it 5-6 times a day. Usually will work for styes.

Chalazion may respond to warm compresses as well. If the chalazion has been present for over 6 months, surgery is likely the only solution.

A stye occurs when you have plugging of the external duct of a meibomian gland that becomes infected. A stye is a more superficial infection of the lid that many times will resolve with the treatment you described. If this superficial infection travels down the ductwork and actually begins to involve the meibomian gland itself it is referred to as a chalazion. Once the gland becomes involved seldom does a regimen of hot compresses work. If the gland is actively involved and infected (it will be sore to the touch) it many times can be resolved by a course of oral anitbiotics such as Cephalexin 500 mg capsules taken every 12 hours for ten days. Starting early on in the infection and treating it aggressively will generally rapidly resolve the infection. Some will have no residual "knot" noticeable in the lid tissue. Other times, though, the infection will resolve but a small know will remain. BUT, if the eye is left alone to deal with the infection on its own your body's immune system will wall off the infection and deal with it on its own. Problem is if left alone, almost without exception, a chronic hard non painful lump will remain at the site of the infected gland. This lump will have to be surgically removed. You have a window of opportunity, though. If you do not have the chalazion removed withing 6 to 12 months, then the chalazion begins to migrate into surrounding lid tissue and it may not be possible to remove it. So, it sounds like you are in the last situation. Your body has dealt with the infection on its own but you have a lump to show for it. If you want to have the lump removed I would recommend doing so relatively soon for the best results. Hope this helped.

Answer 5

Hi Curious

Here is an unusual but very effective method to heal many issues (draws toxins from the eyes, which is your daughters case). ANyone can do this starting at age 5. They understand directions (hopefully) by then.
 
INTRODUCTION TO OIL PULLING ("OP")
REPORTED CURES WITH OIL PULLING:

Mouth & Gum Disease; Stiff Joints; Allergies; Asthma; Acne, High Blood Sugar; Constipation; Migraines; Bronchitis; Eczema; Heart, Kidney, Lung Diseases; Leukemia; Arthritis; Meningitis; Insomnia; Menopause (hormonal issues); Cancer; AIDS; Chronic Infections; Varicose Veins; High Blood Pressure; Diabetes; Polio; Cracked Heels,.

Here's are a few paragraphs from Bharat Savur's article on The Hindu Business Online

..."When Dr Karsch examined the swished milk-white oil under a microscope with 600 magnification, he saw live organisms swimming in it. It's poisonous, so never swallow it, he warns. These poisons are bacteria-embryos, which, if not eliminated, cause diseases. Apparently, Dr Karsch cured his own chronic blood disease and 15-year-old arthritis.

The first sign of improvement is in the teeth-they become firm and white, he says. Other healing indications: fresh, relaxed feeling on waking up, disappearing dark pouches below the eyes, anew appetite and energy, better memory and deep sleep.

Dr Karsch swears by the mouth oil-wash for anything from organ-disorders, skin-diseases, menstrual problems, paralysis to every ache and it is in the human anatomy. You can swish even when you have fever, he says, adding, it takes anything from two days to a year to cure a disease.

And if these claims sound exaggerated, he told a conference of Ukrainian cancer specialists, try out the process yourself.

Interestingly, Ayurveda advises oil swishing "to purify the taste-buds and the entire system", as explained by Dr Deepak Chopra in Perfect Health.

According to this life science, the tongue is mapped by organ-locations — that is, each section of the tongue is connected to the kidneys, lungs, spleen, liver, heart, pancreas, small intestines, stomach, colon, and spine.
Thus, an oil-mouth-massage soothes and stimulates the key meridians where taste meets organ. Simultaneously, as in any skin-massage, the inner skin and lining of the mouth, palate and tongue become warm and supple and the lubrication prevents dryness (the vatic effect).
In modern dietetics too, dryness is discussed.

For example, lack of Vitamin A (retinal) causes the outer lining of the eyeball to dry and wrinkle, and affects vision.
And as any dietician would tell you, all oils contain 960 micrograms of vitamin A per 10 gm (the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A per adult is 600 micrograms). So, it's possible that oil gargling helps in reaching the required retinal to the eyeballs and keeps them elastic and smooth.
Likewise, the Ayurvedic `purification of taste-buds' also has its equivalent in dietetics as `antioxidants'. Oxidation literally means `the putrefaction of body-tissues'.

And oil-soluble vitamins, A, C, D, and E are antioxidants that protect and prevent the decaying process and help maintain the integral functioning of cell membranes. That's why many people are ingesting vitamin E pills to stem `aging' (oxidation). "
