I have a stye at the moment and I have had it since Christmas (i still have it) but i had 2 styes. one closer to my eyeball and the other closer to my tear duct, it didnt reach it though. i tried heat, didnt work and ended up going to the doctors. I have been given antebiotic tablets and antibiotic ointment for it but it still isnt going away and its been there for a really long time.

It went away within three days. Going through this, I learned that getting rid of a stye requires constant application of the hot compress; don’t just apply the hot compress once or twice a day and expect the stye to go away, follow through with the application of the hot compress. I decided to share my experience since it might help some of you with multiple styes decide to visit your doctor or not. In my case, visiting a physician proved more than worthwhile! Stay stye free! Good luck!

Even though I tried the hot compress for this one, it wouldn’t go away, so I decided to visit my doctor. She said she wouldn’t give me anything for it; I simply had to keep doing what I had done with the previous styes. I did, but the stye was increasing in size, so I decided to go see another doctor. I was immediately given antibiotics to treat it.

I had my first stye about two months ago. Fortunately, I was able to get rid of it in about a week and a half with the hot compress technique outlined here. Soon after, however, I got another stye, but I still refrained from going to see the doctor, simply because I thought this stye was no different than the one before. I did the hot compress for about a week again; the stye disappeared. Unfortunately, I got a third stye about three weeks ago.
