Prepare a hot/very warm towel or a gauze that is slightly wet. Put that on to the stye 7 or 8 times a day. After that your stye should be gone. In case it isn't, you should contact a medical professional.
First and foremost do NOT try to pop the stye. That is the worst thing to do for it as it will get infected (worse).

You have two options, you can see your doctor and ask them to prescribe you with medicated eye drops that will help clear up the infection. Or, you can use a hot compress (warm wet wash cloth) for 5-10 mins, 3-4 times a day. Make sure that when you use a warm cloth you get a CLEAN one every time. This will help keep from spreading new bacteria. Avoid any make-up or moisturizer in that area. Try really hard not to touch. It should clear up on its own in a few days. If not I strong suggest going to see your doctor.

There are many ways to stop stye eye, but the most common way is to heat up a clean rag or cloth and put it one the stye.

But i also found that if your laptop heats up, then you can turn it over and use the heat from the bottom and put it on the stye. Thats what I did, and it works really well.

Keep a warm rag on it, 10-15 mins per day.

A stye is an infection of the root of the eyelash hair. Some people pull the infected eyelash out and find it helps them. This only helps if there is a 'head' of pimple-like pus that the eyelash is growing through.

Another remedy is to apply warm wet teabags to the eye and leave them there until they cool down. DO NOT USE BOILING HOT TEABAGS OR YOU WILL BURN YOURSELF. This works because the warmth from the teabag 'draws' the infection to the surface and also because tea contains tannin, which is a natural antiseptic that is safe to use around the eye area.

If treating the stye does not work within a day or two, you should seek medical attention.

Warm compresses are the usual treatment for a stye. This will cause the stye to come to a point and drain. If it does not do so, you may need to see your physician and have it drained.

Applying moist heat over an over is an excellent treatment for a stye, but they can also go away on their own after about two weeks. Never try to poke or squeeze the stye.

What is a stye how is it caused and how can you heal it?

A stye is a "pimple" on the skin surrounding the eye, particularly the eyelid. It is an infection, but I have found that drinking lots of water can help you get rid of a stye easily. Another way: If you put a teabag (wet with hot water) on the stye, it completely helps the swelling of the stye. Check out the 'Related Links' below for more information.

Most stye do not require antibiotic for resolution. Warm compress for 15 min 3-4 times a day usually does the trick. The problem is finding something warm that can last 15 min. I would tell people use a peeled hard boiled egg and wrap it around a moist towel.
