Apply a warm compress to the affected area for 15 minutes three to four times a day to reduce any discomfort.

Follow the compress with the application of an antibiotic ointment prescribed by your eye care practitioner.

The warm compress should cause the stye to point and, drain on its own . Do not squeeze the stye to avoid introducing or spreading the infection.
