Toddler with a sty
Hi All, thought i would pick your well knowledged brains here. Milly has a sore eye, it looked all red yesterday and today its a little swolen, its on the outside corner of her eye on the lower lid. If it was on me, I would say it was a sty and just get on with it. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it. I thought you only got them when you were tired/stressed.
Last time I called the doctors for advice I was told, beyond my better judgement, to come into surgery. I didnt want the hassle of bringing her and the twins out when the doctor was going to tell me there was nothing that could be done (sickness & Diorreah), so dont want to go down that route again.
Has anyone else had experience of this or can offer any advice, or am I being a bit dim and actually do need to take her to the doc's?

Sorry i cant be more helpful hun.
I used to get alot of styes when I was a teenager (surely I was less tired and stressed then??!) The pharmacist used to recommend bathing in witch hazel, which was soothing, but not sure if milly would let you do that. I would suggest taking her to the pharmacist as they should be able to help xxx
I'm afraid i can't offer you any advice but i think asking your pharmacist is a good idea.
I just wondered how you were donig and if there was any more news on the move to Dubai??!!
