Re: my eye hurts
It sounds to me like you might be developing a Stye.

Re: my eye hurts
You might get it to come to a head and burst, if you dip a clean hanky in hot water and hold it against the lump (with eye closed of course).
It is like having acne in the root of an eyelash - not serious, but uncomfortable, and can cause blurred vision because the swelling presses on the eyeball and so distorts vision. Antibiotics will get rid of it quick - the method above is a temp relief until you get to the doc

Re: my eye hurts
I was the same when I had this last year. I used the hot water method and it burst several times but kept filling again. I eventually resorted to antibiotics when the blurred vision had stopped me driving for 2 weeks - up to you - depends how severe the bacterial infection is whether just the hot water method will work.
Note - don't let your lad use the same towel as you do. ps - don't wait as long as I did before seeing doc - some of my eyelashes fell out - antibiotic eye drops won't harm your digestive system

Re: my eye hurts
You can use a warm spoon to bring the stye to a head...and the beauty of the warm spoon is that a teaspoon usually will fit the eye socket nicely.......alternatively Golden Eye ointment may help...get it at the chemists...Failing that see your GP.

Re: my eye hurts
I have just googled Golden Eye ointment because I remember once hearing that it contained mercury - glad to see that the ingredients are now changed to exclude mercury, and it is an antibiotic

Re: my eye hurts
They are nasty Emamum, aren't they. Used to get them when I was little, but luckily none since.
My mum always mixed a little Bicarbonate of Soda in the warm water ... seemed to be the answer to all types of things then ! Lots of people swear by tea bags... please do not try though .. don't want to be responsible for making it worse. The antibiotics, like Margaret says, will only be in the form of eye ointment, which will allay your fears of side-effects from them. It will soon become pretty obvious if it is going to develop into a stye, and if not definitely GP consultation. Hope it feels better soon. |

Re: my eye hurts
Golden Eye is available as ointment or drops, most chemists sell it, ( I know we do) it's about £4.50 a throw.
