How to prevent further swelling?

Question

My little sister got a stye in her left eye. It's starting to swell up, so I was wondering if there is any type of ointment or treatment she can use so her eye is not swollen by the time she starts school

Answer 1

Typical treatment for a sty consists of applying warm compresses to the affected eye for 10 to 15 minutes four times daily for several days. This not only relieves pain and inflammation but also helps the sty ripen faster. Be sure to close your eye while you apply the compresses. When the sty comes to a head, continue applying warm compresses to relieve pressure and promote rupture. Do not squeeze the sty. Let it burst on its own.

Answer 2

go to see an eye doctor immediately.

Answer 3

you can use a hot or warm compress. take like a zip lock bag but hot water in it close it and take another ziploack bag and put the zip lock bag in it. then take paper towels and wrap it around the ziplock bag and then put in on ur eye. Styes drain out on their on so it will take time. when it drains make sure to keep the area clean
