Question 1

how do ii get raid of a eye stye?

Accepted Answer

Stye: Warm compressor for 10 minutes 3-4 timea a day, eye lid shamppo (baby shampoo). Works most of the time. No make up. If  getting bigger, or painful then go to ophtalmology (not optmetry) in rare occasions they may need to remove it surgically.

m using megamox eyedrop n having tablet flanzen 10mg.
i wan to get heal fast as i have many programs to attend dis month.
pls help?

Accepted Answer

Assuming the: diagnosis of stye/hordeolum (an infection of an oil gland in the eyelid) is correct, the treatment you describe may or may not be helping. Styes usually resolve on their own with good hygiene and warm compresses. Antibiotic (megamox) ointment or drops are unproven; I see no role for Flanzen here. Be patient; don't aggravate with make up, etc. Should resolve in 7-14 days. Wear a smile/sun glasses:)

Question 3

how much worse can an eye stye get over time?

Accepted Answer

Eyelid lumps & Bumps: An infection involving glands associated with each eyelash (external stye) usually clears without any serious permanent harm. Hot compresses speed the healing of these.
Infections of the oil glands of the eyelids (internal stye or hordeola) may form chronic cysts (chalazia) that do not resolve quickly. If located in the middle of the upper eyelid they can irritate the cornea of the eye.

Question 4

is it possible to get a second stye in the eye within a few weeks?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The best treatment is frequent warm compresses.

Question 5

what should you do to get rid of an eye stye?

Accepted Answer

Hot compresses: If that doesnt work, see ophthalmologist for drops.

Question 6

what can i do to get rid of a stye in my eye?

Accepted Answer

See ophthalmologist: If you have pinkeye, you need antibiotic eyedrops, which will also help the sty inflammation. But you may also need an ophthalmologist to open and drain the sty with a local anesthetic procedure in the office. Warm compresses will help the inflammation and perhaps stimulate it to drain on its own, but if it persists, see your ophthalmologist. Dr. Tholen.

Question 7

fast, effective ways to get rid of an eye stye?

Accepted Answer

Warm compresses: A stye is caused by an oil gland at the base of the lashes getting clogged and causing some inflammation.  Essentially it is like a pimple.  Take a warm washcloth as hot as you can stand and hold that over the eyelid off and on 10 minutes at a time.  Afterwards  gentle massage the lid toward the eye.  Take care not to make the wash cloth too hot.  If it feels too hot, it is to hot.

Question 8

can i tell me how i can get rid of a stye in your eye?

Accepted Answer

Try this: Do warm compresses using dry heat for at least 10 minutes at least once a day followed by lid massages towards the eyelashes. Hopefully, it drains on its own. If not, see an eye doctor!

Question 9

is it normal to get an eye stye when you have pink eye?

Accepted Answer

Styes occur : Any time, conjunctivitis could potentially cause a stye to form.

Question 10

how would i get rid of a stye on my eye fast please help?

Accepted Answer

Apply heat: While many styes are infected, antibiotics generally cannot easily get to them.  Heat is very effective.  Try soaking a washcloth in the very warm (not hot) water tap and putting it on the stye for 4 minutes at a time about 5 times per day.  
The frequency is important - 2-3 times will usually not work.  If persistent after a week of this see your ophthalmologist.
