My daughter recently got a stye in her eye and it is very red swollen and hurts very much. I wanted to know what if anythng I could do for her. Is there any medication I could put into it ? Or anything besides cold towel/ice ?that we can place on it to help with the pain ? I do know what they look like from previous infection but should I take her into her doc ?? As far as I know there is nothing that can be done for her. Please get back to me soon as you can......
