A sty is a small abscess that arises in the hair follicle of an eyelid. The symptoms include redness, swelling and warmth, tenderness or pain around the eyelid. The patient also suffers from increased tearing, a sensitivity to bright light and an unbanishable feeling of grit in the eye. The most common cause of a sty is a bacterial infection. Fortunately, a sty usually resolves itself after about a week, after the infection drains. However, most people wouldn't want to wait that long.
TreatmentOne treatment is to use warm water soaks to relieve the pain and inflammation. A clean, white cloth should be soaked in warm water and placed over the sty for about twenty minutes. Then, it should be removed and the patient allowed to rest for at least an hour. The warm soak should be used as often as the patient feels the need.
The doctor might also prescribe antibiotic eyedrops so the infection doesn't spread to other parts of the eye or the other eye. The doctor might also prescribe antibiotic creams or ointments like bacitracin. A thin layer should be applied to the edge of the eyelid about three or four times a day. To make sure the infection doesn't spread, the doctor may recommend that the other, healthy eye be treated as well.
These topical antibacterials are quite safe to use, though the patient should be careful not to touch the applicator tip to any surface. If they do, they should clean it thoroughly with warm, soapy water. The container should also be kept tightly closed when it's not in use and can be kept in the fridge, but not in the freezer. The patient should wash their hands immediately after they use the ointment or eye drops and be careful not to miss doses.
The antibacterial should start to work within an hour and might require a week or so to start to control the infection. Some ointments can cause some people to have blurred vision. Others might develop a sensitivity reaction to the drug if it's used for too long a period of time.
