A member asked:
I have a stye in my eye but i rubbed it against my dog's face. will it aggravate the infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily...: Make sure you use warm compresses on the stye about 15 mins 2-3 times a day. Keep the area always clean.If it doesn't get better in a few days or else gets worse you might need antibiotics in that area so you would need to see you doctor.
