The pus in the stye has gone off, but the stye still remains,
thought it is smaller.
It's quite small though, maybe about 2 to 3 mm diameter.
I'm wondering if it might have turned into a chalazion by
this stage, after 3 weeks.
It's external, and more toward the center of the lower right eyelid.
Thank you.

Thanks
It's okay to use Tobrex (tobramycin Ophalmic Oinment) or Garamycin for STYE? My 2 year old has many stye, before I use this oinment I want to make sure that is safe for infant.
Thank you.
Following your advice with warm compresses, the residual
bump, or perhaps chalazion, did shrink to almost to where
no one else sees it, maybe about 1 mm diameter, and hardly
a bump too.
However, it seems to have recurred again today at exactly
the same spot. I'm not sure if it is a new stye, or chalazion.
This may be due to me doing quite a bit of sweeping in my
room two days ago, with lots of dust blown up. The last time
I had that stye on June 15, it occurred right after I did the
same thing, i.e. sweeping and dusting.
Been having quite a lot of stress too these days with family
problems and lack of sleep.
Back to warm compresses, and antibiotic creams or drops again ?
I have two new bottles of Ciloxan (ciprofloxacin) and
Vigamox (moxifloxacin) eye drops.
I've taken a photo.
