Stye

Stye is a painful red bump located at the base of an eyelash or under or inside the eyelid. 

Months ago, I had this. Actually I first had the internal then after a month the external one.

Symptom:
1. Super Painful eye

What to do when you suspect you have stye?
1. Cold compress ONLY. When I tried giving the affected eye a hot compress, it became swollen.

Medication:
1. Since it was swelling badly, I needed to take antibiotics for a week.
2. Maxitrol eyedrop was recommended by the ophalmologist (1 drop, 3x a day)
3. Hot compress every 15 minutes.

Swelling subsided after 3-4 days after medication.
