While continuing your warm compresses and your prescribed cefixime (Safexim/Taxim O) and eye drops is important, these medications alone often cannot easily penetrate a closed pocket of pus. Having your doctor gently drain the swelling after a numbing injection is the most effective way to relieve the pressure, speed up your healing, and prevent the infection from spreading. The numbing ensures you will feel minimal discomfort. I highly recommend following your doctor's advice to proceed with the drainage for your comfort and safety.
