Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having pimple inside the upper eye lid.
These symptoms indicate inflammation of the glands of the eye lid like hordeolum.
I would like to treat this by the use of antibiotic eye drops like Moxifloxacin eye drops with hot compression.
The condition usually resolves in 5-7days.
If possible do send me a photo of the affected eye so that I can confirm the diagnosis and advice you accordingly.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
