What medicine works for a stye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Medicine: The best initial treatment for a stye is ...Heat. Try warm compresses several times a day. Use a facecloth and run under hot tap water...Don't burn yourself! try this for about 1-2 weeks and the stye should resolve. If it does not shrink or go away with this initial treatment...See your eye doctor.
