Home remedies for a sty?

I have a sty that has almost made my eye swell shut. I have tried ice but even though it makes it feel better it does nothing for the swelling. My husband comes home Friday night for two days and I don't want him to see me like this. It looks horrible! Any ideas what I can try?

Camomile tea, hot, sterile cotton ball/gauze dipped into...repeat minimum 7X daily or as often as time permits. Highly effective...Gone in 10-12 hrs. Other than that the chemist sells Polysporin eye drops at a more costlier $$ than the tea bag. Best wishes.
