Just want to state here that Jessie's the moron, get off the site if youre a hater!
That aside, sounds like your boy has a bit of a problem with that eye so a trip to the docs will help. I remember getting a lot of styes in my eyes when I was younger, dont remember what caused them, but I guess I just grew out of them. Hope this helps! Bxx

Frequent syes can be indicative of an underlying problem such as type 1 diabetes or anaemia..Are they styes for sure or could they be small eye infections called meibomian cysts which can be caused by dirt and eyelashes becoming trapped

Your GP if your best bet! Don't try the old wives tale of rubbing a gold band on it though! my Dad tried it, made matters ten times worse!
