Can polymyxin sulfate and trimethoprim opththlamic solution be used for a stye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could: This is a combined antibiotics. Stye is not infection but its an inflamed oil gland(meibomian gland). Antibiotic combined with steroid is a better option. Please use heat pack over the lids and baby shampoo to wash the eyelashes.
