You are going to think I am right out to lunch but I was told this 40 years ago when I was giving my son way to many vitamins (I was one of those that thought if 1 is good 3 is better) any how the pool little guy got terrible sty's on his eyes, any how you need a gold ring it should be at least 14 carrot or better, clean the ring very carefully then run the ring along the edge of the child's eye lid, to do this very gently hold the child's head and put your fingers on each side of the eye and gently squeeze the lids from the side toward the middle, the eye lid will bow out and just swipe the ring along the lid, I can not say why it works but it does, I thought sure old wives tale but honest it does work it may have to be done once a day for 2-3 days but you will see the sty disappear and never return, It is certainly worth a try I just used my wedding ring I put it in boiling water after washing it to sanitize it and let it cool down to pleasantly warm and swiped , just make sure the ring is clean every time you use it. Please let me know how it works for you.

I used to have those a lot as a small child. I always got a cream to put on it from my eyedoctor. It helped a lot. I do not remember what the cream was called, but I am sure your doctor knows if you'd like to try that. I do not know anything you can do without seeing your doctor - without waiting for it to take care of itself. Hope it goes away soon
