A member asked:
I have a steye in inside center of lower eyelid. no improvement after 7 days of antibiotic ointment, 7 days of hot compresses, and 5 days of keflex. will keflex eventually work or should i switch to zpak or cipro? thank you?

Stye: A style may need to be drained if responding to antibiotics. Hopefully, you are not misusing antibiotics and storing them, using them when you see fit and contributing to superbugs. Antibiotics should only be provided by a doctor. See a doctor, best an eye doctor
