[I am still oxox]

I think I have one on my right eye, I am cleaning the eye twice daily, not wearing makeup these days.  Might be from wearing a sleep mask

Maybe hot compresses

I ordered something called Stye from Amazon

I am post op with a total hip replacement and can not get to an eye doc

Recommendations welcome

Warm compresses usually work for me.

I’ve gotten styes before and for me a hot compress really helps in addition to using a lubricating eye drop (over the counter for dry eyes).

I'm prone to styes (lucky me!).  I use warm compresses several times a day.  I have something from Stye that I got from Amazon.  You warm it in the microwave.  At my annual eye checkup recently, my Opthalmologist told me that if I had called or come to the office, they would have told me.....warm compresses several times a day.  And since I'm prone to them, I should use warm compresses a couples of time a day, even without a stye.  

Beyond that, it will eventually go away on its own.

Having said all that, once a couple of years ago, I had a very bad one that I hadn't been treated.  I went to the office and they did have to express it and prescribed a cream to put on.

I am dealing with one right now in my lower lid on the right eye. I have been using Occusoft scrubs on it twice a day.

Soaked teabags do the trick for me, warm and quick working to get rid of them very fast. 

It's the tannic acid in tea that does wonders for skin/eye/mouth issues.

My mom always had me soak with a warm tea bag several times a day.

It has been a few years since I had one but I would apply colloidal silver on a cotton ball to the area a few times a day whenever I felt a stye coming on and it would disappear quickly. Colloidal silver is a natural antibiotic.

Brew a cup of tea and use the warm teabag as a warm compress.

Call your surgeons office so they can get you some antibiotics in the meantime if necessary.  And, yes...warm compresses.  See your primary care if nothing else.
