Do you mean stye? If so, a warm compress should do just fine. Or you could get your hand on this: Erythromycin ophthalmic ointment, but do consult a doctor before doing that. Another alternative (not always successfull) is pulling the eyelash (advice not trying). One word of advice though, if this is the first time, you better be ready that it might happen again and again. One way to avoid it is just keep your eyelashes clean. Just wipping your eyelid with one of those clean and clear wipes ever now and then works.

Practice scrupulous handwashing and avoid touching the area. Apply boric acid soaks a few times daily and it should resolve on its own. If not, seek medical attention for an antibiotic ointment or cream, as it could be conjunctivitis.

Try warm compresses...if it doesnt go away in a couple of days, go to a eye doctor..they can prescribe you some eye drops of ointment.

A sty or stye can be relieved with warm compresses (washcloth) on the eyelid.
