Can I Use Amoxicillin for Styes
Amoxicillin, a broad-spectrum semisynthetic penicillin, used to treat many different types of bacterial infections, will not cure a stye.
A stye, medical term hordeolum, is an inflamed swelling that occurs on the eyelid. Styes are typically caused by staphylococcus bacteria or eyelid disfunction. Styes often resemble a cyst, pimple or abscess on the eyelid.
Eye styes, especially those caused by bacteria, are naturally resistant to antibiotics. The Generic Name: amoxicillin, and brand names Amoxil, Moxilin, Dispermox, Moxatag, Amoxicot, Wymox, and Amoxil Pediatric Drops, will not clear a stye.

Wish I would’ve found this article 3 days ago. I’ve been on antibiotic (amoxicillin) for stye for 3 days and won't get better. I’ve tried black tea, warm compress, home remedies, nothing works. My eye is so swollen that i have blurry vision. It’s also extremely painful, even when I blink. I can see a big pimple on the inside of my eyelid.

I have a painful white spot inside top and bottom eyelid and puss. Both are internal styes. What antibiotic works for eye sty? Does any medicine work to get rid of a stye? This is not the first stye I’ve gotten. I get styes often, they just reoccur once a month or every two months.
