What is the best way to relieve pain from a sty?

Motrin: I would take some Ibuprofen , without kidney disease i would have 800mg every 8 hours. I would also put warm compresses on the sty to help it resolve.

Get it removed: If it is causing pain it must be relatively big. The best way to treat large styles is to drain them, this can be done in the office with adults.

Tylenol (acetaminophen): Over-the-counter analgesics such as Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen is usually sufficient for this. If it hurts beyond this, see an ophthalmologist.
