10 Home Remedies for Styes

8.Take Over-The-Counter (OTC) Pain Medication

OTC pain medication goes hand-in-hand with antibiotic ointment. Pain relievers can alleviate the irritation and inflammation caused by your stye. Drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen, for instance, work wonders for pain and inflammation thanks to their non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory properties.

9.Apply Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera belongs to a class of medicinal plants with excellent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. Regularly applying aloe vera on your stye can reduce redness, swelling and pain while killing several strains of bacteria.

To use this remedy, begin by cutting and aloe vera leaf vertically and extracting the transparent gel using a spoon. Close the affected eye and gently rub the gel on your stye, then let it sit for ten to twenty minutes before rinsing your eye with warm water. Repeat this process two to three times a day for best results.
