Styes are blocked mucus glands, also called chalazia or chalazion.
The treatment options are warm compresses, steroid injections, or surgery
The easiest way to give warm compresses is with a hard boiled egg wrapped in a DRY washcloth. This is an old Chinese remedy. The heat last longer than with wet warm washclothes.
If the stye does not resolve with conservative treatment then surgery should be considered.
