how do you treat a sty on your eye, mine is getting bigger and causing me some concern?

Answer 1

A stye is an infection of the follicle of your eyelash,you probably rubbed your eye with a nono-too -clean finger.
Check for the eyelash that is infected....it will be the most painful,get a pair of tweezers and pull it out!
Then wash your entire face with warm water and soap,take 2 aspirin ----(they are anti-inflammatory and help to reduce the swelling) ---and go to sleep.
Guaranteed to work in less than 36 hours.

Answer 2

A sty, also called hordeolum, is a small abcessof the oil gland associated with the eyelash hair folicle.
Swelling should subside over a period of days. Usually goes away in a week or two.
Seek medical attention if it impairs vision, or doesn't go on it's own after several days.
Warm compresses can help, moisten a clean folded wash cloth with warmwater,hold it gentlyagainst the eye for 10 to 15 mins several times a day.

Answer 3

Make a warm compress with a wash cloth and warm water. Apply to the affected area until cool. Repeat for 15 min. Do this three times per day. I will bring the sty to a head so it will rupture and drain. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

The warm compress is good...three times a day.

clean with salt water, stay out of the sun and get some antibiotic cream from the chemist
