How to take care of a stye eye?

If you’re reading this article, congratulations! It means that you’ve been so unlucky as to develop a stye eye. Fear not – this is a common affliction and one that can easily be managed with some simple care techniques. Here’s what you need to know:

What Exactly is a Stye Eye?

For the uninitiated, a stye eye (also known as hordeolum) is an inflammation or infection of one of the glands at the base of your eyelid. It typically appears as a red bump on either your lower or upper eyelid (watch out for those bumps!).

Styes occur when bacteria from your skin infects an oil gland in your eyelid or eyelash follicle (ooh la la). The result? A painful and unsightly lump, often filled with pus (gross!).

Symptoms You Don’t Want To Avoid

Symptoms include pain, swelling, redness and watering eyes (not ideal but hey look on the bright side -you won’t have any water charges for crying because of onions anymore) around the affected area. Some people complain about suffering from blurred vision too; however, if it gets too bad then go get yourself checked out by an optometrist.

Taking Care Of Your Eyes At Home Is Easy!

Fortunately there are lots of ways you can take care of your eyes at home (let’s avoid accidentally ending up in hospital over something so small eh?)

Warm Compresses – Sounds Like Fun?

One easy way to ease pain caused by styes is warm compresses applied directly onto the affected area especially after having squeezed them! Ouchy!! For optimal comfort experience sit back relax put something mildly entertaining like Friends reruns while lying down/leaning back against comfortable surface meanwhile gently place moist/warm compress on your eyes for a good 10 to 15 minutes. (ahhhh..)- remind everyone how chic you look with your eye patches maybe they’ll start wearing them too

Use Teabags as Stye Remedy – Yes, We Mean Tea

Is it possible that tea could help cure styes? Sure why not! Brew some hot water and put teabag (use the herbal kind if you’re feeling fancy) in the mug leave it be for few seconds until warm then take it out (Don’t drink wrong cup please!). Make sure its a dish-towel or napkin nearby to soak up any dripping so liquid does not get into undeserving surfaces/encounterings. Once cooled place against affected area and just simply relax/maybe think of all those compliments upon waking up stye free.

Petroleum Jelly is Your Best Friend Here

Using petroleum jelly will really aid in clearing away bacteria from the infected site especially around the eyelashes since oil helps break down oils naturally produced by glands within our body It’s also an inexpensive remedy which can easily be found at local drugstores/hardware shops alike. Simply apply onto clean fingers before rubbing gently either on or near affected region while avoiding touching face afterwards (Avoid greasy nightmare!).

What Not To Do?

There are also things that you should avoid doing when attempting to manage a stye:

Leave That Touch Alone!

Try hard not to touch/rub/stroke the sore, this would only spread infection across eyelids quicker than contagious lice- serve yourself notice kindly.

Don’t Share Eye-Makeup With Anyone Whether Sore Or Not

While sharing may champion several admirable qualities like compassion/sharing/is fun; create concrete walls when having active incendiary areas near or around ocular cavities Avoid using mascara eyeliners always replace products frequently hygiene limits germination grow potential points of entry/use trusted brand products.Better safe than sorry eh?

Avoid Eye Glasses Or Contacts- Let Your Eyes Breathe

It may be tempting to just use glasses or contacts all day, But giving your eyes the chance to breathe fresh won’t only help pus reduce but also maybe give that natural blushed look women pay for at beauty shops without having such a stingy burn sensation.

When Should You Visit A Doctor?

Though many styes will resolve themselves over time with at-home management techniques (don’t ever mix vinegar or bleach solutions ) there are certain circumstances where medical assistance may be necessary. These include:

Intense Pain

If the pain from the stye is so intense that you can hardly think straight let alone prepare some warm compresses/boil hot water, then it’s time to visit a doctor.

Swelling That Spreads To Other Areas Of The Face

Pay attention if swelling spreads across face avoid going out and getting mistaken for one of those “what did they do” candidates. It could indicate that an infection has spread beyond your eyelid abscess resorted in infectious conjunctivitis syndrome.

Phew! If everything else looks fine except spreading then book yourself appointment girl we don’t want people at work squinting trying figure whether their colleague was punched by ex partner again!
