persistant blardy styes in ds eyes, related to teething poss? Any experience?

[dandycandyjellybean]

Has had one that's come up and gone down repeatedly since November. Locum just referred him to specialist (going on Thurs). Have been bathing his eye with Euphrasia on and off, but nothing seems to really help. Then yesterday he woke up looking as though he had been punched in his other eye, really red/blue and bruised looking underneath, with the very obvious start of another one. Look really sore poor love. The only thing I can think is that it is related to the fact that he has been teething his second big molars on and off for the same amount of time (still only partially through) and has had a couple of ear infections too. Very tooth related iyswim.

Just wondered if anyone has any experience/advice.

bump, anybody

my dd1 had multiple recurrent styes on both eyes, 3 or 4 at a time, but when she was older about 7 I think. We took her to get her eyes tested and she needed glasses, but the optician told us to wash her eyes with a makeup removal pad, and a drop of "Baby Johnsons Shampoo" (no tears formula) as it cleanses but doesnt sting the eyes. It worked wonders! That was before she actually got her glasses to wear so it was definitely the shampoo that helped.
