Q: Its at the base of an eyelash, has swollen the eyelid and is very sore. Have been trying warm compresses/ cold tea bags etc- does anyone have any home remedies out there??
A: Get a wooden spoon and boil it in a pan of water....Take the spoon out of the water and - before it cools - hold the hot end as near to your eye as you comfortably can. It is hot steam you need... This is one of the few useful bits of information I gleaned from our really poor ex-family doctor many years ago - it worked for me then so hopefully it will for you now... And doesn't cost a penny!! Good Luck.
