Apply heat: A generally effective treatment is to apply a washcloth over which very warm (not hot) water has been run. Hold this over the eyelids for 4-5 minutes, 5 times per day and in several days this will usually get rid of a stye. There are no serious complications even if untreated; just extra long misery until it finally disappears.
