Is it possible for me to use polytrim (polymyxin b and trimethoprim) ophth soln on a sty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A stye: Is not infectious. Polytrim (polymyxin b and trimethoprim) will not help this. Use hot compresses on the eye for 10 minutes at a time and repeat as often as you can during the day. This will eventually cause the stye to get smaller.
