Answer 2

A stye is a clogged/infected oil gland. The best way to get rid of one is to use warm compresses on it as frequently as possible. Think of it like heating wax, it liquifies when heated, which can help it break up and dissolve. There are several methods people use for the warm compresses but my favorite is to wet a washcloth, roll it in a ball, and microwave for a short time. As the outer layers cool, you can unwrap the washcloth and use the warmer inner layers. It stays warm longer than most methods I've tried. Do several times a day.

If the stye does not resolve with warm compresses, you may need medication or it could even require a small surgery.

Answer 3

Go see an Optomitrist or Opthomologist (ask if they have a doctor in the store...if they don't, keep calling until you find a store that does)..make an appointment & GO! It's a plugged tear/hair duct that has gotten infected; only a doctor can prescribe an antibiotic 'salve' that's appropriate and that you can apply with his/her instructions.  A triple-antibiotic would work if you could get it to ahere to your eye lid..that's why you need a doctor; to write the script and to follow up with your eye to be sure the infection is gone.  You only get one set of eyes! Take care of them!

Answer 4

hot compresses... do not reuse it after you've used the washcloth though... they can spread really quickly...
