You can get it at Wal-Mart, CVS, Target, Eckerd, Walgreens, etc. It should be located in the eye drops section (and if you can't find it, ask an employee). I work at CVS as a pharmacy technician and whenever a customer comes in looking for something to treat a stye, that's what our pharmacist recommends.

If the stye doesn't clear up soon, you should go to the doctor.

Answer 2

Sty Medication

Answer 3

you need to get to an optometrist! The bacteria that is associated with causing a sty if left unchecked will lead to a really bad infection that can cause that whole area to swell up golfball to baseball sized! Since it's been over a month, you're probably on your way to that. the optometrist may lance it or just give you some medications to treat it. Do not let this go any longer!

Answer 4

If it's been there this long you might want to go to the doctor. I usually put a warm, wet washcloth on my kids eyes when they had a sty. Wipe you eyes out from the outside corner in towards your nose, this will keep you from spreading infection if there is any. If you wear make up, don't or get all new stuff.

If it doesn't go away after a few days of this I'd suggest you go to the doctor.

Answer 5

if you haven't tried warm compresses and/or lid scrubs, please do. For lid scrubs it is often recommended to use baby shampoo on either a cotton pad, gauze or a Q-tip - have the applicator moistened and use a very small amount of shampoo. For your lower lid, tilt your chin down slightly and retract the lower lid slightly to expose the lid margin. Gently but firmly rub the applicator in a horizontal motion along hte base of hte lashes for the length of the lower lid. Use a separate applicator for each eye. The gently rinse the lid area with warm water and dry with a clean face towel. Do no more than 10seconds per eye or 10 scrubs per eye. Perform once or twice daily.
If this does not help, see your optometrist. You may need an antibiotic and/or steriod to clear this up.
Good luck!

Answer 6

If you have had it that long, you need to see a doctor. I have had a stye before and I had to stay home because I couldn't see clearly, it went away in 5-7 days though.

Also- If you have had it that long, than it may not be a stye, so you might wanna see a doctor.

But if it's hurting try putting a warm wash cloth on it.

Answer 7

My friend at work has had a stye on his eye. Put a warm was cloth on it for close to an hour, if swelling persists, you can go to the drugstore and purchase stye cream, ask the pharmacist he/she will help locate it. If after a week this does not work ( rarely ) The go see your doctor, they will give you a steroid cream that works wonders.

Answer 8

That's a long time to have a sty. I always used boric acid and cotton balls with warm water. Boil the boric acid in water, wait till it cools down and dip the cotton balls in water and use as a compress. Do this several times a day.

Answer 9

Hold a warm wet cloth over it for a few hours each day until it goes away. If it lasts too long you should see a doctor to make sure it isn't a serious infection.

Answer 10

It will go away just leave it alone. The more you mess with it the worse it will get. Go to the doctor if you need further help.
