What should I put on the stye my eyelid?

Here are some suggestions for treating a stye on your eyelid:

Warm compresses: Apply warm compresses to the stye for 10-15 minutes several times a day. This can help to bring the stye to a head and promote drainage.

Antibiotic ointment: You can also apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to the stye. This can help to prevent infection and speed up the healing process.

Tea bags: Some people find that applying a warm, damp tea bag to the stye can be helpful. The tannins in the tea can help to reduce swelling and inflammation.

Avoid wearing contact lenses: If you wear contact lenses, you should avoid wearing them until the stye has healed. Contact lenses can irritate the stye and make it worse.

See a doctor: If the stye does not improve within a few days or if it becomes very painful, you should see a doctor. They may prescribe antibiotic medication or recommend other treatments.

* Do not squeeze or pop the stye. This can spread the infection and make it worse.

* Do not share towels or washcloths with anyone else. This can help to prevent the spread of infection.

* Wash your hands frequently with soap and water. This is especially important after touching the stye.
