A sty

Can a needle heal itself in 3 days?

is a common eye problem. For mild sty, it is possible to heal within 3 days if the patient is in good health and is treated promptly with topical hot compresses, keeping the eyes clean, maintaining a light diet, resting more and reducing eye irritation. However, most sty usually do not resolve on their own in such a short time. If left untreated, the sty may worsen, and as the bacterial infection worsens, an abscess may form and cause more discomfort. Therefore, once a sty is discovered, immediate medical attention to the eye is recommended. Drugs such as levofloxacin eye drops or erythromycin eye ointment may be prescribed to control the infection. If the sty continues to grow, surgery may be required to remove the pus.
