Stye

[Voulez-vous]

I have a stye coming...........been here before and just know that by tomorrow it will be in full force. My question is, is it worth shelling out on Brolene eye drops (or similar) or will it clear up just as well without help.

Any other advice is of course more than welcome...............old wives tales etc very welcome!

Don't do anything.

Ibuprofen for the pain if necessary.

Thanks Sqad............had a feeling it wasn't worth spending cash on.

It is a self limiting condition but many find regular hot compresses can also help speed resolution and reduce symptoms. Try using a flannel with cooled boiled water (hand hot temperature) for 5 minutes 3-4x daily.

Thanks york310, I'll give that a go.

Sqad forgot to mention rubbing it with an old gold wedding ring, preferably your grandmother's
