Suggest Treatment For Eye Stye
I have a stye and my eye is really swallon and big. I can't see the stye because its under the skin or swallon area. I know it's a stye because I used to get them all the time as a kid and have scars from them. Would Benadryl help it go away or take the swelling go down?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having stye of the eyelid with swelling and redness of the skin of eyelid.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs and antibiotic eye drops or eye ointment.
Application of hot compression provides symptomatic relief.
Benadryl is an analgesic and it can be used along with this you need to use antibiotics for control of infection.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
