hi dear
your getting worried is absolutely justified
there aRE TWO REASONS FOR CONCERN :
1 this stye could be an infectious potential for an eye which is in the healing phase
2 steroids might aggravate the lid problem
3 please get your blood sugar levels also repeated
you might need a broad spectrum antibiotic orally and an added antibiotic eye drop for your eyes
good luck
