My 11 months old baby has styes on his left eyelid. his has been on antibiotic for 4 days now. the styes still look very big and red. what else can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stye treatment: Try a warm compress and then massage the eyelid. If the stye does not reduce in size over the next 3-4 days of using warm compresses and massage, see an ophthalmologist to have the stye opened and drained.
