I got my stye 10 days ago - it's under the eyelid on the inside. At first it hurt for a couple of days but then the pain went away and it slowly drained. But after a couple of days, I decided to check with the doctor and he gave me some antibiotics, which I promptly took and finished.
However, the stye is still there - hard, and lumpy as ever - and I am wondering when it will go, if at all. I don't want to think about the thought of surgery but if all else fails, that's my last choice.
So my question is: how long does it take for a stye to go away, and is there anything I can do to make it go faster? Warm compresses don't seem to work though.
