In case this is the onset of a stye, then as of now warm compresses may help reduce the swelling. Incase of increase in size of swelling/ pain with visible boil on the eye- start an antibiotic eye ointment 3-4 times a day and continue the warm compresses
Next Steps
Don't unnecessarily touch or rub the eye. Warm compress can be done with clean cloth dipped into warm water and placed over the closed eyes, particularly dabbing on the affected lid. ointment can be started if pain increases
Health Tips
Do not over heat the water. check it on the back of your hand to test if it's bearable before applying directly onto eyelid skin.
