Patient's question:
After lying down in the morning, I felt a bit of pain in my eyes and they were slightly swollen. Looking in the mirror, I noticed a small pimple-sized bump. I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but later it grew bigger 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. How can I gradually get rid of this stye with a home remedy?Doctor's answer:
Styes are caused by poor eye hygiene, frequent staying up late, prolonged eye use leading to excessive fatigue, and other reasons. They can cause symptoms such as 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 other irritating foods, and get adequate rest.
