There is a medicine calle STYE. It is a small tube of ointment. You squeeze a small amount of it on your eyelid a couple times a day.
It is sold at wal-mart and all pharmacies. It is found in the eye/ear med part of the store.

Use your own urine around your eye. Not only is it free, there is no direction or requirements needed.
I'm not being funny or insulting. This does make a sty go after a day or two. My grandparents told me to do it and I did. It works.

My little brother had the same problem. His doctor told him to use baby shampoo and gently wash the lower lid with the shampoo and a warm wash cloth every morning and night for about two weeks. It worked and it's a worth a try.

They are often caused by tiredness so a good night's sleep could make it go away. Otherwise you will probably need medicated drops from a doctor or optometrist. Ask at a pharmacy.

moist, warm compresses as often as possible for as long as possible and as warm as you can stand it...bowl with water and put a folded wash cloth in it then microwave for a minute...then squeeze water out of cloth and apply cloth to sty...the microwaving time will vary according to microwave and how hot you can stand...be careful not to burn your self

An old wives tale, "watching the dog poo will give you a stye".

I've used warm compresses on my ear and that seems to help.
