Xepanicol uses for getting rid of stye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Warm compress too: A sty is an inflamed "sweat duct" in the eyelid. The ducts get blocked. I tell my patients to get a damp wash cloth and pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds. Place warm compress the closed eyelid for about5-10 minutes re-heating as necessary-at least 4x a day. Adding xepanicol, Chloramphenicol eye drops will help kill associated bacterial infection of the style.
