How Should A Black Eyelid Stye With Swelling Be Treated?
My 4 year old son has a stye on his upper eye lid and is very swollen and the stye has turned into a black swollen dot. I have been compressing his eye with a warm wash cloth for ten minutes at a time and from doing that the stye turned black. I was wondering if I can do anything else that would help make it better or is it time to see a doctor?

You may try giving him ibuprofen syrup 5-7.5 ml thrice a day to reduce pain. Other than that, I would not recommend any specific therapy.
