How to deal with a stye after it becomes purulent?

Stye mainly grows around the eyes. If you stay up late for a long time or don't pay attention to rest, and don't take good care of your eyes, you may get a stye. Stye can cause pain around the eyes. If it becomes purulent, what the patient should do is to protect the hygiene around the eyes, clean them regularly, avoid infection and disinfect them in time.

In terms of prevention, people who are prone to styes should pay attention to eye hygiene, increase nutrition, actively treat blepharitis, and correct refractive errors. There are several ways to treat styes:

1. In the acute stage of stye, hot compress should be applied to the affected area mainly, 2 to 3 times a day, each time for 15 minutes.

2. Patients with stye can use topical antibiotic eye drops or antibiotic eye ointment. If the patient has swollen and painful preauricular lymph nodes or systemic fever, he or she can take antibiotics or Chinese herbal heat-clearing and detoxifying agents orally or by injection.

3. When the stye is mature, it can be incised and the pus can be drained (do not squeeze the stye to prevent the spread of inflammation and cause orbital cellulitis or sepsis). It is worth noting that for a stye that is about to break through the skin, it should be incised and drained before it breaks through the skin. This can not only reduce the patient's pain, but also avoid scars.
