Stye: Try warm compresses frequently and artificial tears as needed. If no improvement or persistence, see an eye doctor.

Warm compresses: Warm compresses, or surgical incision and drainage, or steroid have been the only effective treatments demonstrated get rid of a stye. A stye is due to the orifice of an oil gland (mebomian gland) in the eyelid margin becoming inflamed, and not an infection.
