Eye Stye

sidsmom — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 13:21:14 GMT

Argh!

I have an eye stye!

I could feel something was coming all week but yesterday AM

it was ‘developed’...so...(hanging my head in shame)...I popped it.

I had a mani-pedi later in the day & didn’t want to leave

the house with a devil eye.

But out of revenge, it came back today!

Warm compresses but anything else to help it along?

IknowIknow....don’t mess with it. Man it bugs me.

I feel I need to wear one of those plastic dog cones!

Any tips?

@sidsmom, I have not had one in years, but I only did the warm compresses and lots of them. Popping it, even though we want to do it, can cause an infection, which you do not want.

@sidsmom Colloidal Silver drops....10 PPM. Best thing ever for any kind of eye infection. I have used it for years.

@sidsmom Warm compresses, warm compresses, warm compresses, several times a day for a good 10 minutes or more. I used to get them and I used hot water but that's not always good. While the compress is on, message the style softly. Once or twice a day, wash the stye with baby shampoo, nothing harsher or it might burn. Next time you feel something coming on, use compresses immediately, even before the stye actually developes. Don't ever pop it. If you do, you're looking for trouble. Hope it clears up soon.

@sidsmom

These are notorious for spreading to the other eye, and thru the members of the household.

Keep hands & nails scrupulously clean, and away from your face.

You're going to be washing hands constantly for a couple of weeks so get the nailbrush, soft towels and hand lotion out.

The Big Spread often happens while you're asleep, and because of this patients are strongly urged to pick up an eyepatch and some disposable cotton squares at the drugstore to wear at night. Tape it in place or you'll likely scratch under it while sleeping. Drainage that gets to your pillowcase can infect the other eye.

@sidsmomWarm tea bag (black, not green) compresses several times a day. I did this and the stye was gone in 2 days.

So many suggestions! Thank you all!

I woke up this morning & the white part (🤢) is gone

but the lid is super swollen. I put warm compresses on it until now...

and I’m off to Spin. Thank goodness we’re in a dark room! Ha

Probably on the right side of healing, but I’m definitely

going to try some of your suggestions to help it along.

You may be leery about this, but you could try putting hydrogen peroxide on a cotton swab (Q-tip) and gently dabbing it on the stye.

I've done this and it unfailingly helps it heal.

Just be careful, as I'm sure you know, not to get any HP in the eye itself.

You seem to me to be someone with a steady hand!

@sidsmom

Colloidal silver on a cotton ball will take care of it quickly. Use it 2-3 times per day. Rub over the area, won’t hurt your eye if you get it in your eye.

If if you ever feel another just starting, the same thing will get rid of it before it fully develops.

I've never had one come back, I just put a warm/hot wash cloth on it after popping. I used to get them all the time. Not so much anymore tho.

I accidentally put HP in my eye once. It was enlightening but not harmful.

You might be wise to see a doctor. Popping anything on your eye is not a very wise thing to do. I can speak from experience. We always put drawing salve or Irish potato poltices on ours when we were growing up. I got one when I was about 22 years old and did exactly what the former poster said, popped it and put a warm compress on it. I had a swollen upper lid the following day and the under part of the lid had dozens of stys underneath. I had to be put to sleep and have them dealt with. The following few days, they had spread to the following eye and I had to repeat the same thing, be put to sleep and have them excised. I was out of work 3 weeks as a result. So, my advice is that when it comes to your eyes, don't play foolish games like I did.
