Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
Stye is because of bacterial infection of the glands of the eyelids. It presents with painful swelling involving the margin of the eyelid with localized redness.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye ointments like ciprofloxacin eye ointment for local application 2-3 times a day.
Warm compression over the swelling and use of analgesic drugs will provide symptomatic relief.
Hope this answers your question.
