2. Soothe the excess water and place the hot cloth on your closed eyelid where the barley is.
3. 3. Hold the pad on the barley for about 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat this process 3 to 4 times a day for better results.
Step 3: Avoid pressing the orelets
1. Avoid pressing or bursting the barley, as this may cause the infection to spread.
2. Allow the barley to close naturally or with hot compresses.
Step 4: Use over-the-counter treatments
1. Over-the-counter ointments may be applied according to the instructions on the packaging.
2. Use antibacterial ophthalmic drops if recommended by a healthcare professional.
Step 5: Apply preventive measures

3. 3. Regularly clean your eyelids with a mild, non-irritating cleanser.
Following these steps can greatly improve the healing process of a stitching and help you get your regular routine back on track. If the barley persists or worsens, it may be time to consult a healthcare professional for other treatment options.
