Frequent Eye Stye

2017-09-12 03:34:58
I am suffering from stye since childhood. I have undergone both allopathic and homeopathic treatment but the stye keeps coming. The doctor tells me it is due to infection but even when I keep my hands and eye always clean how is it possible? I dont have dandruff too which is said to be a common reason for stye. I am fed up of spending money and time. Being a student I have to do a lot of work on laptops and that gets hindered too. What can be the possibile reason for occurrence?

there  are a series  of glands on the lids margins. this is the infection of those  glands. suppose one gland get infected and you get treated  but  during  the same period the adjoining  gland get infected. slowly  the infection increases and thus it becomes a series.  to break  this  chain  you will have to use antibiotic eye drops 2hourly for a longer duration ie for months together.
