How to get rid of my eye stye?

Are you sick and tired of looking like Quasimodo? Well, fear not my friend! We’re going to show you how to get rid of that pesky eye stye once and for all.

But first, let’s get a little scientific shall we? A stye is a red bump on your eyelid caused by an infection in the oil gland. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and lots of tears (and not the happy kind). So how does one go about getting rid of it? Keep reading!

Home Remedies

If you’re like me and prefer natural remedies over chemicals any day (insert sustainable living here), these tips may be useful.

Tea Bags

Drinking tea makes everything better but did you know wetting a tea bag with warm water can help relieve pressure on the infected area? Seriously.

Garlic Cloves

Garlic is more than just something that wards off vampires or flavors your dinner. It has antifungal properties that’ll reduce inflammation within days. Place crushed cloves wrapped in tissue paper against your closed eyelids overnight and thank us later.

Essential Oils

Essential oils are like the magic potions in old stories except without witches trying to steal them from us (unless someone really hates our style). Mix lavender &tea tree oils together then apply 1 -2 drops onto a cotton swab which should be applied directly onto the affected eye making sure it doesn’t touch other areas as it could cause further infections.

A Quick Recap:

  • “Ceylon” green tea bags mentioned especially good for this purpose.
  • Infected area relieves pressure when warmed with moistened teabags.
  • Crushed garlic squeezed into tiny tissue balls reduces inflammation overnight!
  • Blend non-toxic essential oils well before using small amounts per application!

Medical Treatment

Now, if you’re too lazy for home remedies or just want to treat it directly (ain’t nothing wrong with that) then medical treatment might be something worthy enough to consider

Topical antibiotic

An over-the-counter topical antibiotic such as Bacitracin can help clear out the infection from your oil glands.

Steroid cream

If inflammation is majorly causing discomforts and pain, a steroid cream will work best here. It’s an anti-inflammatory medication only available through prescription.

Eye drops/ointment

Eye drops and ointment containing azithromycin prescribed by the doctor reduces the bacterial growth on eyelids thus alleviating itchiness and swelling.

A Quick Recap:

  • You may now rub antibiotics normally reserved for farming purposes near your red humph.
  • Medically used bacterial steroids also overcome general inflammation problems but require a script!
  • Obtain special Azithromycin-containing prescription gel in form of eye-drops

Prevention Tips

Just like they say: ‘Prevention is better than cure’–always.

Below are some tips that may contribute positively towards keeping this uncomfortable problem at bay:

  1. Keep good hygiene standards (think regularly washing hands etc)
  2. Discard old makeup contents beyond the use-by date
    3.Wash eyes gently with warm water twice daily.
    4.identify which habits increase oil production around your skin’s surface e.g changing pillowcases more often or refraining from touching various parts of face frequently .

Try incorporating these practices into your routine, who knows! That stye might not show up for round twuo.

Well folks, we hope these tips will help you get rid of that pesky stye once and for all/take measures preventing its reappearance – this means no more avoiding human contact until further notice…yayaya!!
