A member asked:
I've got eye stye. my doctor told me that i can use neosporin for a treatment. which neosporin is she talking about?

Use heat: Neosporin will have little or no effect. The best first treatment is to apply very warm soaks five to six times per day for 5 minutes each application. This should get rid of it in 2-4 days, if it persists longer than that, see your ophthalmologist.
