Prompt treatment is necessary to prevent complications. Primary treatment consists of antibiotic therapy. Systemic antibiotics (I.V. or oral) and eyedrops or ointment will be ordered. Supportive therapy consists of fluids; warm, moist compresses; and bed rest. The patient should be monitored closely. If during the initial 48 to 72 hours of treatment no improvement is seen, adjustment of antibiotics guided by drug sensitivity should be considered. If an orbital abscess is present, surgical incision and drainage may be necessary.
