hot compresses to the area of inflammation can help increase blood supply and potentiate spontaneous drainage. good personal hygiene with attention to cleansing the eyelids on a daily basis to prevent recurrent infections.
Application of an antibiotic ointment such as erythromycin to the margin of the eyelid after proper cleansing. Except in children under age 12. If it becomes localized to a single gland then incision, drainage, and curettage is sometimes necessary.
Use a solution of tap water and baby shampoo or commercially prepared hypoallergenic cleanser. THE STY SHOULD NOT BE SQUEEZED.
See your doc as soon as possible for an antibiotic if necessary.

Warm compresses may help it drain, four times a day for 20-30 minutes at a time. Keep the area as clean as possible. Tylenol Over the Counter. I'm sure it hurts. I hope you feel better soon. If it gets severe, you might see a doctor. Use your discretion Good luck.

This is an old wives tale but I have had it work. Rub a copper penny on it. Do not let it go long, my father lost his site in one eye because it was left to long.

Soak a washcloth in steamy hot water. Hold it over your face covering your eye. Must be as hot as you can stand.
