I remember getting warm compresses when I had a stye as a kid. Zora and Max-angel had them on the upper lid. Both ran their course and went away.
Thanks, David, for your input.
Poor Alex. Does it seem to hurt? The warm compresses is a great idea. I used that on Hallie's bum when she had an anal sac abscess. Hope it clears up soon! Love that sweet face of his! :heart:
You can use a warm compress of home made eyewash. A pharmacist can find the Boric Acid powder for you and you mix it with sterile tap water. Boil one quart of water and add one tablespoon of boric acid; let it cool; use with a clean cloth compress on the eye and give bacon by mouth, two strips per session. (Nurse Zuzu made me add that part :grin: ).
ouchie - I remember getting sty's too when I was a kid...how is it today?
Poor baby. We too use the boric acid compress like Leslie and Zuzu - but never with bacon. Isn´t bacon supposed to go make everything better? We think crispy fish strips help too. Hope he is better soon.
Poor little guy. I hope it's much better today. Please let us know how he is doing.
