I've woken up with a swollen and sore red eye. as far as i'm aware, it's a stye. any home remedies to fix it?

Warm compresses: A stye is a swelling of one of the small oil glands on the edge of your eyelids. A stye causes redness, swelling and tenderness of the lid margin. The best initial treatment is warm compresse to to the lid margin for about 5 minutes 4 times per day.
