A stye is a bacterial infection of the eyelash follicle. A sty resembles a tiny, red pimple on the eyelid. Sties are not a reason for concern but they do cause moderate discomfort.
Generally, most styes heal without treatment; the bump will come to a head in a few days. When the bump bursts open, the stye will cure and ache will subside.
If you are eager to get the stye healed quickly, consider using the following tips:
- Place warm compresses on the stye 3 to 4 times a day for few 20 minutes.
- Moisten a tea bag and put it on the eye and bandage it in place. Leave this dressing overnight. You will find great improvements the next morning.
- Dandelion tea is effective in helping the body to get rid of bacteria that causes sties.
- Pat some castor oil on the sty several times a day till the sty heals.
