chalazion or also known as "ketumbit"

That is how my Bea2's eye for the past er....4 months. I admit I'm guilty of not doing anything about it, except waiting for it to disappear. But that's what people telling me, that thing just go away.

But a mother would try not to let her daughter celebrates Hari Raya like that. I brought her to a GP. I had not even gotten the seat when he annouced that he could not do anything about it. He mentioned a word that I didn't really get, till I googled "cyst eye", the word chalazion appears here

Malay calls it "ketumbit". This joke has been around as long as I can remember that if you are naughty, and likes to peep other people, particularly when people doing business in the loo, you would get one.

Anyway, the doc. advised if I really wanted it gone right away, a minor surgery can be done at any eye specialist clinic or in my case the UMMC.

Off we went to the hospital, only to be advised by a doctor that they would try to avoid doing surgery especially on a small child as it involves general anastesia. I was advised to do warm compress on that area with an application of eye ointment/antibacteria cream. She will consider a surgery in the next appointment in 2 months, if the thing is still there.

So, now you know;).

We were there for only less than 1/2 hour. The good thing is, me and the elder girls got to spend some time at the Ikea after that;).
