    stye

    not sure if the spellings right but i think i have a stye in my eye right next to my tear duct in my left eye is a lump which over the weekend has become quite irritating and a little inflamed.
    I am off to the doctors this morning but I'm a sook with drs i dont like them coming near me with sharp or pointy object lol, what do they usually do for styes and is there a way to prevent them coming back?

    rub silver on it! It really works, I've had them a few times and rubbing silver on it made them go away.

    You can get a prescription cream from your doctor called chlorig. Other than that the warm teabag or a cotton pad soaked in warm salted water.

    Good luck!!

    does the chlorig contain chlorine at all (allergies!) a warm cotton ball sounds quite nice atm

    I was going to say a warm compress on the eye usually draws the gunk out

    Chlorig is a topical antibiotic. Not sure about chlorine...

    Maybe you need to stop watching Play School
