Hot packs and visit: A stye is a mild infection of the lubricating gland at the base of an eyelash, usually appearing as a red angry bump on the eyelid. I recommend avoiding touching it and frequent heat. Put a half cup of UNCOOKED rice in a clean sock or towel and tie it tightly, microwave x 20-30 seconds. Mix the rice and apply the rice-pack to the eye, at least every hour. Antibiotics work, but you need an RX.
