You can apply a warm compress a couple of times a day. Other than that, there isn't much to do except wait till it goes away. Keep your hands clean, don't rub the eye, and don't try to pick at it. If it doesn't get better or seems to spread, see a doc because you may need antibiotic eye drops and or pills.

An Eye stye can be treated at home by applying very warm compresses for about ten minutes at each time, 3 to 4 times daily, using a wet, clean wash cloth to the tender area. This treatment will aid in the suppuration of the stye; suppuration refers to the forming of a head on an infection and the heat from compresses speeds up the white blood cells to fight the infection. Your physician may prescribe the applications of antibiotic drops or antibiotic cream for the stye. If you have frequent styes, the prescription of an antibiotic ointment will prevent the recurrence

Warm compresses and there is a over the counter medication called Stye that you can put on the stye pn the eye lid. It works wonders because I just had a stye and there is no more stye.
