How to treat a painful stye at home in days

✅ Stye on the Eyelid: Causes, Symptoms & Quick Remedies

A stye (also called hordeolum) is a small, painful lump that appears on the eyelid, usually filled with pus. It happens when the oil glands near the eyelashes become blocked or infected, often due to bacteria.

🔍 Common Symptoms

  • Red, swollen bump on the eyelid
  • Pain or tenderness when touching the area
  • Watery eyes
  • Crust around the eyelid
  • Feeling like something is inside the eye

🦠 Why Do Styes Happen?

  • Touching the eyes with dirty hands
  • Sleeping with makeup on
  • Dirty eye tools like brushes or contact lenses
  • Stress or weakened immunity

🏡 Best Home Remedies

✅ Warm Compress
Apply a warm, clean cloth to the eyelid 10–15 minutes, 3–4 times daily.
➡️ Helps open the blocked gland & drain faster.

✅ Clean the Eyelid
Use mild soapy water (baby shampoo) to gently clean the area.
