For recurrent styes conventional treatment is antibiotics, the homeopathic approach is constitutional, intended to boost general resistance to infection.

Self-help: To disperse a stye, try hot spoon bathing: wrap cotton wool round handle of a wooden spoon, then repeatedly dip handle in very hot water and put it against stye. You should not try to burst the stye by squeezing it. Tighten up on personal hygiene; for example, never touch or rub your eyes with dirty hands.
