You can go to school with a stye!.!.!.!. you should go to an ophthalmologist to make sure that's actually what it is!.!.!.normally they will have you use an antibiotic like keflex for a couple of days and warm compresses, its fine to go to school though!. Styes aren't contagious!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, you usually can go to school if you have a stye, but be very careful about hand washing!. Styes are enflamed sebaceous glands (near the base of the eyelashes) and are usually caused by staphylococcus bacteria!. They look similar to pimples, but should not be squeezed or pierced as the bacteria inside can spread over the entire eyelid!. If your stye does not go away within a week see your doctor about getting antibiotics!. Wash your hands after treatment of any type to avoid spreading the infection!.

Soften the stye by applying a hot, moist compress several times a day for at lease 10 minutes at a time!.

The tannic acid in tea is reported to help cure styes - take a used tea bag that is still warm and apply it to the eye as a warm compress!.

Refrain from wearing eye makeup while the stye is active!.

There are many over-the-counter stye remedies you can try - see your local pharmacist!.
