A member asked:
7 years old daughter has eye stye (both eyes) for over 3 months. she has finished 1 week treatment with amoxycillin and we are still using warm compress regularly. it is not significant enough to require surgery. what else can be done ?

See specialist: You are doing what would generally be recommended. The warm compresses are the most important treatment. Be sure you are doing them every few hours and keep the eyes clean. Sometimes a stye can be confused with a chalazion which may not go away as easily. If the treatment isn’t helping, please see an eye doctor.
