Stye in the eye: Eye Infection Stye Treatment and Remedy- How to get rid of stye?

A stye is a painful lump that forms along the edge of the eyelid, caused by bacterial infection in the hair follicle of the lashes. Pus may be seen at the tip of the lump. Warm flannels may be applied to try to draw out the infection.

Cause of Stye eyelid

Styes typically result from a staphylococcal bacteria infection or from a clogging of the oil glands around the eyelashes or inside the eyelid, but can be triggered during times of stress. They are usually harmless, despite their appearance – causing redness, tenderness, pain and sometimes light-sensitivity and eye-watering.

Stye Symptom - signs fo eye stye

Redness, tenderness and pain are usually the first symptoms of a stye (though eyelash styes are less painful and heal with less effort than eyelid styes). The redness of the eyelid is followed by pus. After the pus is out, the patient is relieved.

Eye Stye Treatment and medication

Applying an antibiotic ointment (available from a doctor) will make the stye disappear more quickly.

Some styes rupture, drain and heal without treatment.
