What Is The Treatment For Enlarged Lacrimal Carbuncles?

Hi,

My lacrimal caruncles have enlarged, but they are not red or inflamed. They are not red, itchy, or painful. They're just enlarged. There is no discharge but sometimes eye gunk accumulates. What should I do to help heal my caruncles? I have been using warm compresses and artificial tears for the last 3 days but nothings really changed

Hello
Welcome to Healthcare magic

I reviewed your history it may be a allergic or dacrocystitis.

If it is allergic in-nature. Take oral levocetrizine 5mg tablet one tablet daily. Clean the eye with fresh water. Cromal eye drop can be applied 3 times daily. Watch for allergen. If doubt then avoid them

It may be a dacrocystitis which requires treatment by the antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs in acute exacerberation.

The definitive treatment is by surgery in the form of dacryocystorhinostomy.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for treatment.
Thank you.
