Can't go to the doctor. is there anything i can use to help cure the stye eye?

Hot compresses: Use hot tap water, very hot, but careful not to burn yourself. Use for 5 to 10 minutes, 4 times a day until gone. If does not go away, you might want to have it removed. If increased swelling or pain, you might need an antibiotic.
