A member asked:
6 years old daughter has stye on both eyes for close to 3 months now. warm compresses help but it comes back again and again . this time it has come back worse than before. how long can it last? what else can be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually 1 week.: After checking with your PCP, I would suggest that she needs to avoid touching her eyelid. She should avoid putting aby lotions or eyelid solutions on the eyelids. Unfortunately she may have to have a surgical procedure.
