How do I get rid of my sty?

Answer 1

Boy do i know how you feel. I've had a couple of those things before, and the best way to get rid of it is to use a hot dish rag and hold it on the infected eye. keep wetting the rag with as hot as you can stand it, and ring it out. keep it on the eye till it feels better. and you may also want to get some sty medication. it doesn't get rid of it, but it will numb it. the heated wash rag will help bring down the swelling. and whatever you do, do not try to pop it. the warm wash rag will eventually get rid of the sty. but if it doesn't go away, or get any better in 4 to 5 days, you should go to the doctor. hope this helps, and hope you feel better.

Answer 2

I get those fairly often. All you have to do is go to a pharmacy store(Eckerd, CVS, Walgreens, etc) or Walmart and get some cream. It should be located with all of the eyedrops and such. Apply a little bit to a cutip and dab it on the stye about 2-3 times a day. That should work. However, if for some strange reason it doesn't, here is a link to some home remedies.

Answer 3

most stys are self limiting, if you apply a moderately warm washcloth a number of times daily, it will likely go away on it's own in a week to ten days. If it doesn't then you will likely need an antibiotic to deal with it.

Answer 4

It is a pimple in avery sensitive place. Sometimes it is possible to get them to open and drain, but you must be very careful or you could damage your eyeball.
I would say to use hot or warm compresses to ease the discomfort and it may get the sty to open on it's own.

My grandmother always told me to rub a gold ring on it.
I don't know if it really worked, but eventually it did go away!
