Depends on the diagnosis. A complete ophthalmologic exam should be performed.
We often use doxycycline, keflex. Your eye doctor should evaluate your lids and decide which is best for you. Azithromycin can also be used
If it is a viral infection no antibiotic is prescribed. If it is bacterial, it depends on the organism. See an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and prescription.
Choices are too numerous to mention. Why do you want to know? If you or someone you know has an eyelid infection, maybe you or they should actually see an eye doctor, instead of second-guessing the situation by going online.
Any eye antibiotics
