Thanks for reaching out about Chimu. A beak infection could be superficial clinical sign of a deeper problem. Sinus or upper respiratory infections (bacterial, fungal) can lead to scratching of the peri-orbital sinuses. Topical medications will not correct this, and a need for systemic medications is needed. A veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
