Sty on eye: The sty you refer to may not be a sty but a lacimal duct infection at the corner of the inner lower eyelid. Wash cloth warm water and antibiotics is the treatment. See you doctor.

Stye: Warm compresses several times a day. Most will resolve. If it persists or worsens, it may need an intralesional steroid injection or surgical excision and drainage.
