Hordeolum (style you want) is an infection or inflammation of the glands at the edge of the upper eyelid and the bottom is caused by bacteria, usually by the Staphylococcal bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus).
Hordeolum can arise in one or more eyelid gland. Eyelid gland include Meibom gland, the gland Zeis and Moll.
Based on the place, hordeolum divided into 2 types:
1.Hordeolum internal, occurs in Meibom gland. In this internal hordeolum bump leads to the conjunctiva (the lining of the inner eyelid).
2.Hordeolum externa, occurs in lymph gland Zeis and Moll. Lump visible from outside the outer skin of the eyelid (palpebra).
SYMPTOMS
Signs hordeolum very easy to recognize, ie, visible lump on the upper eyelids or below, reddish. Occasionally visible whitish or yellowish spots accompanied by swelling of the eyelids.
In internal hordeolum, bumps will appear more clearly with the eyelid.
Complaints are often felt by people with a sense of which hordeolum prop the eyelids, pain and more pain say when bent. Sometimes watery eyes and sensitive to light.
Hordeolum can form an abscess in the eyelid and broken by removing the pus.
TREATMENT
In general hordeolum can heal itself (self-limited) in 1-2 weeks. But not infrequently require special treatment, topical medications (antibiotic ointment or eye drops) or in combination with oral antibiotics (taken).
Hordeolum management sequence is as follows:
1.Warm compresses for about 10-15 minutes, 4 times a day.
2.Topical antibiotics (ointments, eye drops), for example: gentamycin, Neomycin, Polimyxin B, Chloramphenicol, Dibekacin, Fucidic acid, and others. Topical medications used for 7-10 days, per physician, especially in the phase of inflammation.
3.Oral antibiotics (taken), for example: Ampicillin, Amoxicillin, Erythromycin, Doxycyclin. Oral antibiotics are used if hordeolum showed no improvement with topical antibiotics. The drug is administered for 7-10 days. The use and choice of oral antibiotics only on the recommendation of physicians based on test results.
The antibiotic dose in children is determined by weight according to each type of antibiotic and the severity of hordeolum.
Symptomatic medications (to reduce complaints) can be given to relieve pain, eg, acetaminophen, mefenamic acid, ibuprofen, and the like.
