Patient's question:
After lying down in the morning, I felt a bit of pain and swelling in my eyes. Looking in the mirror, I noticed a small pimple-sized bump. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but it grew larger and became very painful. I went to the doctor, who diagnosed it as a stye and prescribed some medication. However, it didn't go away. What are some home remedies to gradually eliminate a stye?Doctor's answer:
A chalazion is caused by factors such as poor eye hygiene, frequent staying up late, and prolonged eye strain, leading to symptoms like redness, burning sensation, and pain in the eye. It is not recommended to use any folk remedies for treatment, as they lack scientific evidence. Oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory, antibacterial eye drops can be used for treatment, which may provide some relief. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and get adequate rest.
