Detailed Answer:
Hello

Welcome to Health care Magic.

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having stye in left eye.

Stye is because of infection of the glands of the eyelid.
The treatment of the condition is by the use of antibiotic eye drops and antiinflammatory drugs. Applying hot compression provides symptomatic relief. The condition usually resolves by 3-5 days.

Moxifloxacin is a antibiotic eye drop and this can be continued.
Applying warm compression provides symptomatic relief and you need to continue this.

Along with the above two you need to take analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs like Diclofenac or Aceclofenac once or twice daily for rapid symptomatic relief.
If you are having severe infection manifesting as pain, swelling..., a course of oral antibiotics may be considered. Broad spectrum antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin can be used for 3- 5 days.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
