Trachoma can be treated with medications, such as applying anti-inflammatory eye drops or ointments. Generally, eye drops are used during the day and antibiotic eye ointment is applied before bedtime, which can be very effective. Oral antibiotics may also be used in combination with local medication for better results. It is important to actively treat any complications or sequelae.
