Suggest Remedy For Painful Sty On Upper Eyelid
hi! i have a stye on my upper left eye lid, and it seems like it s getting worse as the days go. i ve had it for 3 days now, how long do they normally last, and how can you tell if it s healing or not? i ve also been doing some home treatments by using warm compress for 10 minutes every hour or so.

hi.
a sty resolves on it's own. usually it takes a week-two to resolve. you could continue your warm compressions. just keep your hands clean and do regular washing. do not scratch your eyes as it may cause further irritation.
hope this helps.
good day!!
