Over-the-counter (OTC) medications are drugs that can be sold to customers without the need for a prescription from the doctor. When it comes to pain medications, most people use either ibuprofen or acetaminophen to help deal with pain. Because styes can be painful and cause excess swelling, sometimes OTCs are needed for the first few days when the stye is at its worst to help relief pain and swelling. Depending on your particular case, and whether you have any allergies to medications or not, you may opt for any type of pain reliever for as long as you follow the recommended dosage. However, it is always best to consult a medical professional before taking any type of medication.
