Im in pain what should i do?

Question

I have a sty on my eye lid and its painful. I don't know how to get rid of it :(

Please could you send me advice.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Run some really hot water over a face cloth/flannel and squeeze some out then fold it up and hold it up to your eye the heat helps the cyst/stye to disappaer.  

Answer 2

Sounds odd but put kettle on, brew yourself a cup of tea, use the tea bag as hot as you can stand it on your eye, just relax for a while with it on. The heat and something in the tea (tannin i think) works on drawing out the c**p inside. Do this a few times over the next few hours and you should find relief.

BTW....You need to remove teabag from your cuppa before you add milk and sugar

Answer 3

Go see a doctor.

Answer 4

Bathe your eyelid with some salt water - it helps to draw the infection out.  Just use some cotton wool to dab it onto your eyelid.

It's an awfully painful thing, i would go to your GP to see if they can give you something to rid you of it quicker, but in the meantime i would try the salt water.

Feel better soon!

Answer 5

You can use a hot/warm compress, take some advil or Tylenol for the pain, see your doctor to make sure if you need some antibiotics.  

Answer 6

ask ur doctor

Answer 7

its more likely to be a pouk

Answer 8

Have to agree with CarrieDo, warm teabag on the eye. A very old method which always works.

Good Luck. If no better tomorrow, Docs for you.

Answer 9

If its painful, then its actually more likely to be  a CYST not a sty, which means a minor operation will be used to remove the lump, and viola, no more pain...

good luck! and see you doc, he will confirm whether its a cyst or not, and can book u an appointment.

Answer 10

Go see a pharmacist they should be able to advise you on an over the counter ointment.
