General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query in HCM,

I have read through your query and from the description you have provided, its highly likely to be a stye.
I would suggest you to do the following:
- wash your eyes repeatedly with cool clean water multiple times a day
- avoid rubbing your eyes, as if its infected it might spread and cause conjunctivitis.
- you may start on OTC ciprofloxacin eye drops one drop thrice daily for 5 days.
- you may also artificial tear drops two drops daily to keep your eyes moist and to prevent itching if any
- make sure not to use the same towel for the other eye too.

It should resolve in a weeks time.
Hope this helps

Kindly revert back for any further queries
Thanks and regards
