Can I have an image for this?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this sty. Most sty require no antibiotic for treatment and resolution is often spontaneous within 7-10 days. However, infection may spread and require antibiotics use. Most of them are in the form of eye drops and therefore pose no risk to the kidney as they never get into the whole system. If you do need any, that decision would be confirmed by your doctor and he is the only person to issue a prescription for it.

I will also appreciate getting an image for review so that I can provide more insights.

I wish you well. feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
