Baking Soda For Styes
I have used a baking soda wash rather than the paste. 1 teaspoon of baking soda to 250ml boiled water. Mix thoroughly and allow to cool. Pour into an amber bottle and shake before use. Wet a cotton swab with the mixture and swipe over the eyelid. Works incredibly well for styes as well as allergy induced issues. ( Dry weepy eyelids due to makeup allergy). I have used this since I was 15 after a pharmacist showed me how to make it for my allergy prone eyes. I am now 52 and nothing beats it.

My son's latest sty on his eye I treated with one application of baking soda (bicarb soda) paste. It is soothing which is a lovely bonus. 15 minutes held on his eye, by the next morning, about 24 hours, it was gone
