Asked By:sarah9194 in Grand Junction, CO

Hi, my name is Sarah and I have had a stye on the outside of my bottom eyelid for about 5 days now. I have tried eyedrops for it, stye eye lubricant, and I've tried using a warm cloth to help with the swelling and nothing seems to work. I've been taking ibuprofen for the pain but it won't go away. Any suggestions to get rid of it? Please help!!!
