i have a stye on my upper eye lid it seem like its getting closer to my eyelash i've had it for 3 months now how can i get rid of it ?

Question

How do you get rid of a stye on the top lid of your eye? It's not very big.

Answer 1

Heat: The best treatment for a stye is to apply very warm washcloths, just below the "i can' stand it of heat" for 4-5 minutes at a time, and 5 times per day. This will usually cause these to melt away but if persistent, see an ophthalmologist since you have had this for so long.

Answer 2

Stye treatment: Try warm compresses with a wash cloth 2-3 times a day and massage the area. If the stye does not reduce in size within 3-4 days see an eye doctor to have it drained.

Answer 3

Depends: The choice of prophylaxis is based in part on where you're going and the resistance patterns of the malaria in the area. The cdc has a good website that discusses this issue based on region or country. When in doubt, see a travel medicine specialist.

Answer 4

Yes if not improved: If you are still hurting without any real improvement or if it is feeling worse, then a MRI would be indicated unless the pain is mild and not affecting your life.

Answer 5

Whiplash: Unfortunately whiplash syndrome is difficult to treat and diagnose for that matter. I would get a cervical mri, but remember that the findings on MRI may or may not correlate with your symptoms.

Answer 6

Peristomal wound: When i see a patient who has difficulties with peristomal wound or pain, i generally try to ascertain cause. Usually, if there is no underlying pathology, the skin is irritated by the adhesive. Using a hydrocolloid dressing beneath the adhesive may reduce the difficulties.

Answer 7

Peristomal Skin: Often times if the adhesive of the colostomy appliance is not flush against the colostomy stool will leak out from the colostomy onto the skin causing a severe burning and irritation of the surrounding skin. Always make sure that the colostomy appliance is flush with the colostomy without any exposed skin. Special creams and powders can also be used to help ease the burning.

Answer 8

Thick nasal mucus: Thick nasal mucus can be related to sinusitis, but not necessarily. If you have chronic allergies or recurrent infections you should consult a doctor who can identify if there is an opportunity to improve nasal inflammation with sprays or treat infection with antibiotics. You may benefit from good nasal hygiene as well which involves using salt water rinses to clear mucus and allergens.

Answer 9

Back off: Jeff - please find yourself a good doctor to talk to face to face. Do not keep sending the same questions. Set your mind at ease and resolve your conflicts. That will be the only way to resolve your concerns!

Answer 10

Not sure: I cannot say with any semblance of surety that what type of seizure, u had. Please consult your neurologist. Thanks.
