Stye in Eye

Apply heat with direct steam from a thermos onto the closed eye or by a hot compress (helps spontaneous discharge)

Perform lash epilation to allow drainage (incise with a D₁₁ blade if epilation doesn’t work); discourage squeezing of stye

Only use topical antibiotic ointment (e.g. chloramphenicol) if infection spreading locally, and systemic antibiotics if distal spread noted by preauricular adenitis
