Probably not: Best treatment for a stye is warm moist compresses and typically oral antibiotics. Topical antibiotics can sometimes be helpful but Polymyxin B trimethaprim is bacteriostatic and has poor penetration.

No: A stye is usually not an infection but a tender swelling of a gland in the eyelid. Also called a chalazion. The treatment is warm compresses and sometimes injection or excision with surgery. Drops and ointments don't much but occasionally i would use a topical antibiotic but it would not be polytrim (polymyxin b and trimethoprim).
