The incision and drainage of the wheals is usually not too painful. This is because the local sensory nerve fibers are not as sensitive after the formation of an abscess. In addition, it is necessary to use local anesthetic drugs during the procedure, so this pain will not be too obvious. However, the local swelling will be more pronounced because it is necessary to use a lid clamp to hold the lid in place during the procedure to prevent bleeding, so this swelling sensation may be more pronounced. After surgery when the anesthetic medication fails, local pain may appear. At this stage, it is recommended to continue using antibiotic eye drops to control local inflammation and wait until the wound is basically healed, for example, 1-2 days after surgery, then you can continue applying hot compresses, and you can basically return to full normal about 1 week after surgery.
