All excited about the next day's party! You get up next day morning and what you see an

uncomfortable red inflammation pop on your eyelid –the dreaded Stye which apart from being

unsightly is painful and uncomfortable as well. A soaring discomfort every time you blink forcing

you to think “how to treat a Stye”. Right then you wish you had a bit more attention to your

grandmother when she was espousing her home remedies because she darn well told you how to

treat a Stye but now you can't quite remember. The best and the most sworn by treatment of a Stye

seems to be the warm compress , twice or thrice in a day .Another  favorite remedy for Stye  is to

keep a warm moist black tea bag on the infected area.  Cotton swab dipped in castor oil and applied

twice over the Stye is another recommended remedy.

But what if there is no improvement. Maximum one should wait for three days after that

antibiotics prescribed by a doctor are necessary because one of the most irritating thing about a

Stye is that it can easily recur.

A Stye is actually a bacterial infection and rubbing eyes with unwashed hands is one of the main culprits. This specifically the reason why a warm compress is so highly recommended in the treatment because a warm compress promotes the blood circulation to the infected area and Stye comes to a head and

drains. This also particularly the reason why antibiotics are recommended if no improvement is

seen after three days because it being a bacterial infection it can spread to other people especially

younger kids. And even though it does not actually harm the eye the discomfort caused is enough to

make you want to seek a quick remedy.

Bacteria blocking the glands of your eyes in a swollen red protuberance at the worst

possible time(though I don't think so there is any good time for Stye), something which even make

–up does not even hide. But one has to be patience with it because even though it starts subsiding

after the second day it normally takes about four days for full recovery.



Many people believe that the eyes are the windows to one's soul and that eye's are often expressive and can actually tell a lot about how a person is feeling even without uttering a single word. That is why a lot of people, especially women, take special care of their eyes. They are not only enhanced or made even more beautiful or noticeable, they are also cleaned. Having eye problems are not only painful and bothersome; they can be embarrassing as well. Aside from conjunctivitis, a stye is a common eye infection. A stye occurs when dirt irritates the glands in the eye area causing it to swell resulting to a small bump in your eyelid.

You can always see your doctor for medication or you can do it yourself at home. A stye is fairly common and simple to treat. Below are simple ways on how to treat a stye with a home remedy.

• Warm Compress Application – Do this twice a day on the affected area. Use a soft cloth dipped in warm water and press it over your eyes for about ten minutes each time.
• Tea Bag Solution – Prepare yourself a cup of hot tea. After the tea has seeped, pull out the teabag and let it cool to a point that it will no longer burn. Place the teabag over your eye for about ten minutes. The tea has certain properties that help shrink the swelling.
• Castor Oil Swap – Using a cotton swab, apply a small amount of this oil over the bump twice a day. This is a good follow up to the warm compress.

I'm sure you did not expect to learn that how to treat a stye can be as simple as having a cup of hot tea. Keep in mind though, that if home remedies on how to treat a stye do not work, it is best to consult a doctor.
