It can be really painful. I have them to appear on my right eye about every 4-6 months. I went to the doctor,,He gave me antibiotic eye drops.Also told me to apply heat compresses 3 times a day. One was so large that it ruptured when I wiped my eye..I got a q-tip and pressed on the area and drained until it was almost gone..The next day it was alot better..It had completely disappeared within 3 days.

hot compresses to the area of inflammation can help increase blood supply and potentiate spontaneous drainage. good personal hygiene with attention to cleansing the eyelids on a daily basis to prevent recurrent infections.\nApplication of an antibiotic ointment such as erythromycin to the margin of the eyelid after proper cleansing. Except in children under age 12. If it becomes localized to a single gland then incision, drainage, and curettage is sometimes necessary.\n\nUse a solution of tap water and baby shampoo or commercially prepared hypoallergenic cleanser.  THE STY SHOULD NOT BE SQUEEZED.\n\nSee your doc as soon as possible for an antibiotic if necessary.

not a lot, it is a bacterial infection.  without antibiotics it will still clear up, it will just take longer.  keep your eye clean and flushed with eye drops if they get dry or stuff gets in the corner of your eye.  also don't rub your eyes with your hand because you can transfer bacteria.  and if you wear contacts, start wearing back-up glasses if you have them.

Go to the eye doctor and they will give you eye drops to use. It should be gone in a week or less.

The simplest method is to go to your drugstore and have him point out boric acid for eyewash.  It comes with a eyewash cup.  It doesn't burn and it is very soothing.

This exact thing happened to my son.  He has eye allergies, and that seems to make him more prone to infections.  He had healthy bacteria (that we all have) get up under his contacts and cause an infection.  I would see an opthomologist, as you will need a prescription for drops.  My son had to stop wearing his contacts for two weeks (one week to put in the drops, and one week to continue healing the eye).  This was after falling asleep in the contacts for 10 minutes in front of the TV on a few nights in a row (he had been real busy and tired that week, and I just let him do it, thinking how short a timeframe it was couldn't do any harm).  I would wake him, make him take out the contacts, and send him on to bed for the night (he normally takes his out daily).  However, it was just enough time for an infection to take hold.  Long story short, don't sleep in your contacts, even for a short period of time.  Don't swim in them, either, ever.  My son uses Elestat drops during change of seasons or any time his allergies act up, as well.  He also vigorously washes his eyelashes twice a day with a washcloth and baby shampoo.  It seems to help the buildup.  No-rub solutions are misleading, too.  You need to rub the contacts and rinse them daily to remove the protein.

Do not take internally.Call doctor.\nFlood with water if this gets on the skin. Contact doctor immediately if in eyes, also flood with water.

it depends on where the infection is.  Flagyl is good for internal infections but needs a prescription.  Maybe lotromin?

Hi Kents Crazy\n\nNot sure you can take care of this in one night, but here are some remedies to use.\n\nCaution: Do not attempt to squeeze the lump with your fingers, as this may spread the infection into the bloodstream and can become extremely serious. \n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nDiet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet that is high in garlic. Avoid all refined sugars, alcohol, and milk and dairy products, as well as any foods to which you may be allergic or sensitive.\n\nHerbs: Use an eye wash made from a fresh and well-filtered infusion of eyebright and goldenseal. Also drink red raspberry tea. \n\nHomeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Pulsatilla, Hepar sulph., Sulfur, and Graphites.\n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. \n\nNutritional Supplementation: Take mycelized vitamin A in therapeautic doses 100,000 IU for the first two days, and then reduce to 50,000 IU the next two days, and then a preventive dose, 5,000 IU for the next week. Also include beta carotene and vitamin C as part of your daily nutritional supplement program.\n\nTopical Treatment: Bathe your eye in a solution of chamomile or red raspberry tea.\n\nAlternative Professional Care\nIf your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating sties: Applied Kinesiology, Detoxification Therapy, Light Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Reflexology, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.\n\nBest of health to both of you

I had this problem about 10 years ago.  The options i was given at the time was:\n\n1.  Drops to put in my eyes everyday.. everyday or the problem would come back.  It was just like a temporary fix.\n\n2. or have surgery.  I had the surgery and i am glad i did.\n\nI wish you the best of luck.  ~~~  Oh, and keep your hands away from your eyes, use a clean tissue, if not you could get it infected.
