A member asked:

Internal hordeolum in my eye has not gone and it's been a week, what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try heat: Use very warm soaks over the eye 4-5 times per day for 5 minutes each over the next several days./ This will usually make a stye disappear. If not see your ophthalmologist for further treatment.
