2 yr old has bad styes, lasting about 1 month. specialist said nothing i could do after taking him in on first one, has had 2, #3 seems to be forming?

Can be recurring: Warm compresses are a good idea for the eyes. Make sure there is not too much rubbing of eyes. At that age that can contribute. I have recommended topical ophtalmic ointment in some cases to relief recurrences.
