A stye is usually caused by a blocked oil gland in your eyelid and is not typically treated with oral antibiotics like Cifran 500 Tablet (Ciprofloxacin). The best approach is to apply a clean, warm compress to the affected eyelid several times a day. If the swelling worsens, spreads, or affects your vision, please see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

Stye Treatment
- Styes are typically treated with warm compresses to promote drainage.
- Topical antibiotic ointments may be prescribed by an eye specialist.
Ciprofloxacin Use
- Ciprofloxacin is an oral antibiotic for severe infections, not usually for styes.
- Avoid taking it without medical advice due to potential ineffectiveness and side effects.
Recommendation
- Consult an ophthalmologist for appropriate treatment.
- Maintain eyelid hygiene and avoid touching the stye.
Seek Medical Attention
- If symptoms worsen, such as increased pain, swelling, fever, or vision changes, seek prompt medical care.
