Mouthwash, even dental etc maybe but for something as important such as as your eyes you MUST consult and SEE a specialist?

 

A stye is not an eye condition but a skin condition on the eyelid, big difference

 

Most styes can be safely self-managed with simple cleaning and hot compresses. Only if they fail to resolve despite this is it necessary to see a doctor (which may be the case for OP).

Even though they you have no proof that what they say is true, recommended or effective in your situation.  

At least the doctor in the hospital is qualified and hopefully  trustworthy!

I am talking specifically about your eyes.  One of the most important organs that we have!  I am not asking for local knowledge regarding Mom & Pop shops etc!

 

Anyway each to their own and if you cannot SEE that and trust some keyboard warrior to give you "advice" then that is up to you.  I certainly would not ask for or take such advice.

 

What I might do however is post of my experiences after having treatment for a serious problem!

 

What you are saying is absolutely right, but I still like to see posters opinions on things, hospitals, or Mom and Pop shops, as for Keyboard Warriors, there is always cowards hiding behind them who would say insults, or call you things that they would not dare say to your face. They know who they are, and so do I. I can see a keyboard warriors brigade forming soon.
