What Is a Stye?
7. Home Remedies for a Stye
A stye is one of those conditions whose treatment can be entirely home-based. The bacteria that causes a stye is present in the nose of practically every human being. However, the bacteria do not always cause styes. For this reason, it is not necessary to resort to the use of antibiotics.
Cleaning the affected eyelid with warm water several times in a day will encourage healing. You can also apply a warm, clean face towel to the affected eyelid 3 or 4 times a day to keep the swelling and inflammation in check. During the lifetime of a stye, it is best to avoid applying eye makeup to ensure that the inflammation does not increase.
