How To Treat Pain And Swelling In Eye Caused Due To A Draining Stye?

I have a stye in both of my eyes. Due to warm compresses, one of the styes opened up today and began draining. It has continued to drain. I thought I would feel relief, but it isn t still really swollen and feels like a rock in my eye. What should I do at this point to avoid extra infection and pain? I visited an optometrist yesterday and was perscribed antibiotic/cortisone combination ointment.
