Who can i go to drain an internal hordeolum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most hordeolums: or styes drain themselves if you apply enough warm compresses to the eyelid several times a day. Using some antibiotic eyedrops also seem to help, though I think they are over-prescribed by physicians in an attempt to make sure the eye does not get infected. Thanks for trusting in healthTap.
