Warm compress: I would start with a warm compress, but see your md if not getting better.

Blocked gland: A stye is nothing more than a blocked oil gland. They are rarely infected, and never cause a threat to your eyesight. You can try hot compresses.... A sock filled with beans heated in the microwave is a good hot pack.
