How To Get Rid of a Stye Overnight

Hey guys,

In this post, I want to share with you a little method for getting rid of a stye overnight. It won’t work in all cases, but if you need an ultra-quick stye remedy, it’s worth a try.

If you’re looking for a more reliable way to get rid of a stye, check out this page – it usually takes a couple of days to get rid of a stye using this method but it has an amazing success rate.

Anyway, back to how to get rid of a stye overnight. This tip was sent to me from my friend John who runs the website Get Rid of Chipmunks. If you have a chipmunk problem, check out his free guide to getting rid of them - there’s a free plug for your website, John

John emailed me to say that when he was a youngster his mother used to check his eyelid to see if the stye was an infected eyelash follicle.

Many styes are caused by an infection of an eyelash follicle but not all of them – some are caused by an infection of one of the glands within the eyelid, so make sure that your stye is an external follicle stye before proceeding.

If a Stye had developed in an eyelash follicle, then John’s mother would pluck the eyelash (which would also pull out the infection 99% of the time) before holding a cotton ball soaked in boiling water against the eyelid to help drain and soak up the fluids.

This method can literally get rid of a stye overnight if you go through the procedure before you go to bed.

John also tells me that sometimes his mother would also half-fill a mug with boiling water and have him put his eye over the rim and the steam would also help to clear the infection. If you try this, be very careful not to scold your eye with the boiling water!

Personally, I’ve never tried these methods, so can’t say if they work or not but if anyone tries them out, I’d be very grateful if you could let me know the outcome in the comments section below.

Other methods you can use to get rid of a stye include a hot compress (the best method), rubbing gold against it, antibiotics and surgery.

I’d advise you check out my own method for how to get rid of a stye, which usually takes between 1 and 3 days (but has a very high success rate) or look at some other methods of treating a stye.

Oh, and never ever try to pop a stye.
