Prescribe oral antibiotics when internal hordeola do not respond to topical therapy |
A) Hot compresses and topical antibiotic/steroids (conservative therapy) were initiated, but the patient’s symptoms persisted. I am not surprised that conventional treatment did not work. Oftentimes, topical treatment does not penetrate the lid tissue effectively when it is an internal hordeolum. Due to this ineffectiveness, many clinicians are now skipping traditional, topical therapy and going right to oral antibiotics.
Because our patient was still complaining of pain with lid erythema and edema, I would recommend an oral antibiotic. Antibiotic therapy could be amoxicillin, Keflex (cephalexin, Dista), doxycycline or erythromycin. I typically use 500 mg of Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate, SK Beecham) twice daily for 7 to 10 days. This has a good spectrum of coverage and is also indicated for preseptal cellulitis. In addition, the twice daily dosing is far easier for patients to comply with than an antibiotic dosed four times a day.
B) prescribe dicloxacillin 125 mg to 250 mg four times daily for 10 days or cephalexin 250 mg four times daily for 10 days. These oral medications have been available for a long time but are still effective for soft tissue infections associated with the eye.
C) Good choices of an oral antibiotic would include Augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium, SK Beecham) 500 mg every 8 hours for adults or Ceclor (cefaclor, Eli Lilly) 500 mg every 8 hours for adults. Treatment with these agents should be continued for at least 10 days.
For patients who are allergic to penicillins or cephalosporins, Bactrim (Roche), 160 mg trimethoprim/800 mg sulfamethoxazole every 12 hours for adults or Levaquin (levofloxacin, Janssen-Ortho) 500 mg once daily are alternatives.
