A member asked:
My grandmother thinks she might have a stye on the lower part of her eyelid what is best for that that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go to the ER.: Warm compresses to stye 3 to 4 times daily and antibiotic eyedrops. It is usually caused by bacteria. If the stye persists, it may have to be drained. You can go to the emergency room to get it treated with a prescription medicine. If it is recurrent or persistent, an eye doctor will be your best bet.
