Stye problem
I have got stye in my eyes from last 2 days. I am applying Zaha 1% twice a day and ciprofloxacin eye drops 2 hourly. However it seems that these are not giving any results or please suggest how much time it takes to get it cured completely. I don't want to change ointment and eye drops so frequently. Also please suggest some good antibiotic drugs for oral intake to get rid of this as it is very painful and I can't look at something for long.please see the attached picture of my eye

Stye is an infection at the root of lash hair and oral antibiotics are recommended.
Combination of Amoxycillin with clavulanic acid is recommended. Please get it in touch with your doctor for a prescription. Augmentin is apopular brand fo the same.. You may need paracetamol 650 mg for control of pain and swelling. Do meet your local doctor for a proer prescription and follow up.
