Suggestions: Besides going to a doctor and getting rx drops, you can try over the counter drops like alaway or zaditor, (ketotifen) and use them 2-4 times a day. You can also keep the rims of your lids clean by lightly brushing them with a wet q-tip after a shower or other application of steamy heat. Try to resist picking at it, because that may make things worse.

Warm compresses!: Sty! you can use warm compresses - a washcloth with warm water and hold it to the closed eye for 5-10 minutes 3 times a day. You can massage it with your fingers after the compress, but do not aggravate it. You are trying to get it to drain on its own. You may need it incised and drained if this does not work. See and ophthalmologist. A sty is not and infection, so antibiotics do not help.
