i have an eye infection

[sammy101]

grr,i have a eye infection,or its a Stye! its hurts and my eye is swollen,and its itchy sometimes.Im going to the doctor this week to get it treated.
just wondering,has anyone had any experience with a Stye?how long it takes to go away,and all the stuff:)

never had a sty, it sounds painful. would warm, frequent compresses help to reduce the infection and pain till you see the doctor?

Yup - warm damp washcloth resting on it will help until you get to the doc and he gives you the goop to put on it. I haven't had a stye since I was little, but I remember the ouch!

Sounds very painful :( Hope it get's better soon.
