I woke up this morning with a swollen eye lid and the eye feels really sore. Could it be a sty? What does a sty look like? And what are you suppost to do about it?

sty
What Are the Symptoms?
Sty: a red, hot, tender, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful swelling near the edge of the eyelid.
Chalazion: a relatively painless, smooth, round bump within a fat gland of the eyelid.
Call Your Doctor If:
Either type of swelling does not subside within a few weeks.
The swelling interferes with your vision.
You have pain in the eye.
You have recurrent sties. A sty can be a symptom of other ailments such as diabetes and chronic skin problems.

A sty just looks like a little bump. There is over the counter medicine you can get for that. Maybe you have pink eye? I would go to the doctor just to be on the safe side.

You would notice a sty if you had one. They are a bump on the inside of your eyelid. You may have pink eye though. Or you may have hit yourself in the eye in your sleep. I'd wait a little while and see if it improves today. If not go see a doctor.

Sty looks like a small lump, kinda like a bug bite on your eye lid. They can be itchy. It is an infection and can be hard to get rid of.

Could be a real big Stye, maybe a bug got in your eye while sleeping. Sorry, gross, I know. Maybe you developed an allergy? Maybe a small piece of fabric got in your eye. Try saline eye drops and see if that helps. If its a Stye, you'll have to uncomfortably wait it out. Sorry. A stye just looks like a bump, reddish, or whitish. Depends. On what, I don't know.

a sty is a bump, not nessicarily red, on the lash line. my son recently had on and as long as it isnt infected (which if it isnt red and scaly looking it isnt) all you can do is hold a HOT cloth on it periodically throughout the day. it took about a week for my sons to go down but his was HUGE!!!

It may just be allergies, i wake up some mornings with my eyelids swollen from allergies. Try putting an ice pack on it.
