Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
You would likely need to see your doctor and assessment.
A stye is inflammation of the eyelid margin involving the hair follicles of the eyelashes. It is associated with a staph bacteria.
Because it is a bacterial infection, topical antibiotics are usually needed, though some may improve without treatment rarely. The antibiotics would need to be prescribed by a doctor.
In addition to antibiotic treatment, you would need to apply warm compresses to the eye, 4 times a day for 15 minutes.
