What Causes Swelling Of Stye On Eyelid?
Hello, I am a 58 year old female and have a stye on my left eyelid. I have had it since Sunday and have been treating it with warm compresses. It seems to be more swelled today and hurts more. Is this normal? What should I do and how long should I wait before seeing my doctor? Thank-you. Debbie Roberts

You should see the doctor right away since you are not responding to the conservative line of care. He or she will put you on some antibiotics.
