Quick remedy for a sty

Submitted by Marilyn

With a cotton swab, dab a bit of BABY SHAMPOO on the sty and follow with warm compresses. Start as soon as the sty is evident and it should be okay within 2 days.

This is the standard method in our family and was given to my daughter-in-law by her pediatrician.
