Is there an over the counter medication for a stubborn stye. had this for many months now without much change. if not what doctor should i see?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: When warm compresses & cleaning the lash line have not helped in weeks, sometimes the only good option is having it opened & drained by an eye surgeon.
