Is There Any Way To Get Rid Of A Stye?
Styes
I have this stye on the bottom of my eye. Its been there for about 3 days. I have been getting styes for about a year now every month. Ive also noticed that they come around my period but I dont know if it has any effect on them? Well I dont have time to go to a doctor and I was wondering if there was any way to get rid of a stye? I have been aplying warm rags and tea bags on it but it only has a little effect on the stye.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having recurrent stye.
This is because of infection of the glands of the eyelids. The common predisposing factors are chronic blepharitis, uncorrected refractive errors, uncontrolled diabetes...
Since you are experiencing them during periods this can be because of stress.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic rye drops and hot compression along with correction of predisposing risk factor if any.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
