Stye: Another term for stye is hordeolum which is the medical term from the Latin hordeum which means barleycorn grain.

Infections can dilate these glands. Possible swelling could be permanent.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, and physical examination if the leskon is getting better, even if slowly, you may watch and wait.
