Heat: The first thing is to apply a lot of heat. Boil an egg, wrap it in cloth and keep it over your eye 10 min on, 10 min off. If it's still there a few weeks later, have a eye doc drain it.

Compresses!: You can use warm compresses - a washcloth with warm water and hold it to the closed eye for 5-10 minutes 3 times a day. You can massage it with your fingers after the compress, but do not aggravate it. You are trying to get it to drain on its own. You may need it incised and drained if this does not work. See and ophthalmologist. A sty is not and infection, so antibiotics do not help.
