Heat treatment: The best way to treat this is to use a very warm, wet washcloth applied to the closed lids for 4-5 minutes at a time and do this 5 times per day. This should reduce the stye in several days. If persistent over 6 days or so with this treatment applied diligently, then see an ophthalmologist.
