A member asked:

Will the pus from a stye drain out with the triple antibiotic ointment or will that make it worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Little effect: Styes are best treated with frequent applications of very warm wet washcloths. Antibiotics will not penetrate and will make little difference. Use the heat at least 5 times per day for 4-5 minutes at a time.
