How To Treat A Painful Swollen Stye On My Eyelid?

I have a bad stye on my eyelid. Its been there for about 2 days. It is swollen and hurts, (but not as much as it did yesterday). There seems to be puss or something gooey coming out from the inner corner of my eye. Is there something I can do to help it drain/heal faster? I ve tried wam compress and Triple Antibiotic Ountment. Please Help!

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having stye of the eyelid. This is because of infection of the glands of the eyelids. The treatment of this condition is by use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs.
If it is not responding you can go for epilation of the eyelash to assist in removal of the pus. Oral antibiotics and oral anti-inflammatory drugs will provide symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of the drugs.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
