What can i do to get rid of a stye in my eye?

See ophthalmologist: If you have pinkeye, you need antibiotic eyedrops, which will also help the sty inflammation. But you may also need an ophthalmologist to open and drain the sty with a local anesthetic procedure in the office. Warm compresses will help the inflammation and perhaps stimulate it to drain on its own, but if it persists, see your ophthalmologist. Dr. Tholen.

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.

Heat and antibiotic : The most successful early treatment is the use of warm compresses four times a day followed by an antibiotic/ steroid drop and/or ointment. If that treatment is unsuccessful, an ophthalmologist can painlessly lance the beast and drain it.

Warm compresses: If the surrounding skin gets increasingly red or you develop fever, go to the er.

Warm compresses: Use frequently (few times a day).

Stye treatment: Warm compresses and ocusoft plus lid scrubs, artificial tears, and possible antibiotic/steroid eye medication. If no improvement, intralesional steroid injection and/or excision and drainage.

See ophthalmologist: "styes" are usually bacterial infections and can also be from airborne foreign bodies. This may need pus removal, warm compresses, topical antibiotic creams or drops and/or even oral antibiotics. You should see an ophthalmologist.

Home treatment: A stye is a bacterial infection of the eyelid (usually staph). Antibiotic drops are not necessary! Warm compresses will allow the stye to drain very promptly.

Heat: The best first treatment is to apply very warm soaks five to six times per day for 5 minutes each application. This should get rid of it in 2-4 days, if it persists longer than that, see your ophthalmologist.
