I am a 63-year-old female residing in India with diagnosed sarcoidosis affecting multiple organs.

I have a stye that has gotten worse very fast and looks infected. Should I go to the ER? The stye is getting worse and is a first-time issue. I went to my primary care on Tuesday and they gave me antibiotic eye drops which don’t seem to be doing anything.
