No. : No. Warm compresses and lid massage or better for this as well as tetracycline type antibacterials taken by mouth.

NO! : No! remember doctors can not diagnose over the phone or internet, but is the 'stye' you describe a painful bump in your eyelid? --if so the treatment is not a steroid (so no hydrocortisone) a stye is a 'blocked gland' in your eyelid (it's a mechanical problem) the general treatment is: -warm compressess -anti-biotic eye drop or ointment and if not improved : a small surgical procedure by an ophthomologist hope you're better soon.

You : You should never use a steroid preparation in or near the eye without first seeing an ophthalmologist. They can cause serious complications. Use warm compresses and if this does not help, seek the care of an ophthalmologist.

Definition : Definition of a stye is a collection of meibom (greasy portion of the tear) from the blockage of meibomian gland on your eye lid. The stye is often complicated by an infection which results in tenderness. If your stye is infected, then you can use an antibiotic or antibiotic/steroid combination. However, that is not a cure for a stye. It merely controls the infection and the inflammation. The cure for a stye is application of a warm compress for about 1 hour a day. This is not easy to do but highly effective.

Pregnant to soon: Theoretically it could be a problem your uterine muscles have been weakened by your csection being pregnant so soon may put added stress on those uterine muscles. Talk it over with your obstetrician. If you are pregnant again i'm sure he will want to monitor you closely.
