Frequent stye on right eye
My cousin has been getting frequent and persistent styes in his right eye. He was prescribed Moxifloxacin ointment, but it hasn't helped. What other options could be considered?
Answers (4)
Do some hot compresses over the stye. Need to get checked by a local ophthalmologist to see if there is any allergy or blepharitis in the eyelids.
Reduce screen time and do not rub eyes frequently.
If it doesn't resolve with medical treatment, it can be removed with a small surgical procedure.

You can start him on tablet amoxyclav twice a day if he is an adult and if he is a child you need to consult his doctor for the dose.
Try hot fomentation twice a day.
Still if no relief- get him examined for any other risk factor for repeated stye infection
