ok, i will do as noted. thank you so much for your help!

hello!
The chalazion did purge/drain a good amount during the last 2 weeks (the most improvent so far). It mostly drained during sleep, waking up with dry crusts on the eyelash area where affected below (lump). I believe there was draining from the focal point on the eyelash (this is a new developement)- it is now a red spot/inflamed at a single folicle which I feel is good AND draining from the ulcer-like lesion inside the eyelid.
There has been no change in past few days, although I had eased up on the nite time moist heat on eye.
There has been a total reduction to date of the size and visibility of the chalazion by 60% I would say. There is still some left, and it is noticeable especially if there has been crying.

How to proceed? Thank you!
Elaine

well, I thought I had the 30 potency, but I cannot locate it now. All I have is combination remedy for ears: Hepar Sulph 6x, Pulsatilla 3x, and Silica 6x.

I can order the single remedy if need be I guess.

His mood is good, less crying and whining in general since starting the remedies. Perhaps alittle bit more independant and less attention competing w/ his twin? Incidentally, he and his brother played outside all day in the sunshine and last nite/today they are having some symptoms of seasonal allergy? This child is having clear nasal discharge and sniffling - very minor, but there nontheless. (Other brother had some minor ear flare up, in another post!)
I will order the silicea 6c asap.

ok, update:
I have ordered the silicea 6c it will be a few days til it arrives. The eye has drained again a very small amount yesterday, still same size chalazion. What will be the dosing when the silicea arrives so I may start right away.

hello!
sorry for the delay, summertime gets busy around the house:)

The chalazion has reduced even more w/ the silicea! A few days of good drainage/crusty eyes happened. There is still a very small bump noticeable...but I cannot tell if it still needs a tiny bit of draining OR if what I see is the lesion/ulcer from INSIDE the eye (where drainage came from). The area does still gets alittle puffy when crying...does that follicle need to open up to allow full flow of tears/oils?

Please advise:)

thank you for all your help--

hello,
the lump under eyelid (chalazion) is very much improved, almost undetecable. Ther remains a tiny lesion inside the eyelied that is visible as a tiny lump...it is reducing. The eyelid/eylash area still does get puffy at times - not sure if all the eyelash follicles are open? Not noticing much/any drainage morning crusts. Should we leave it as is, or next step?

thanks!

hello!
The lesion inside the eye is still there - and this week I notice there is still some 'white' matter within the center of the lesion, needs to be expelled I believe. The eye (outside under lid) still gets alittle puffy w/ crying.
Some stubbornness returning (I think from 'summer boredom'), still very loving and affectionate child, creative.

please advise, thank you!

A few small remaining traits to remedy:
-this child has developed a nail biting/chewing habit the past year since beginning 1st grade at a new school. Nails and surrounding skin is chewed alot, he always has fingers in his mouth!
- does grind teeth at times during sleep, loud enough to wake me if I am sleeping next to him.
- he currently dislikes washing his face;)

other than that, he is a very loving, gentle, and creative child who likes to rise in the morning early;)

thanks!!

I apologize for my delay in replying! My sone had a severe stomach flu for a few days this month and I got sidetracked.

to review:
I realize you took time to choose several remedies for next dosing, however I do feel that the nail/finger chewing is at the most problematic I have seen with this child...which is why I believe he got sick this month! to recap his current behavior/symptoms:
severe fingers in the mouth habit/chews nails ALL the time, it is a noticable problem now.
Are the previous 3 remedies you listed for this problem specifically? Also, he most alwaqys get an impetigo/ulcer infection around his lower right mouth after a flu illness...if that helps with remedy selection...

thank you for all you input:)

Hello Zady 101,
You had helped me with my young son a few years ago with a large and stubborn chalazion under his eye - your remedies successfully uprooted it and it has never returned, thank you. I now have a 4 year old daughter with the same problem, also I can see 2 additional bumps under the thin skin of her eyes on both upper lids - so three chalazions at this time. The most pronounced is under her right eye. Are you able to help again, and can you take this case?
With much gratitude,
elaine
