Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history.
It indicates infection or inflammation of the glands of the eyelids.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops or eye ointment. You can continue use of chloramphenicol eye drops prescribed by your doctor. Along with this warm compression and use of antiinflammatory drugs like diclofenac will provide symptomatic relief.

If possible do send a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis for you.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
