Fire sore" refers to a boil. There is no such thing as "how to cure a boil on the eyelid the fastest." In general, a boil on the eyelid can be treated relatively quickly by maintaining good hygiene, applying warm compresses, avoiding squeezing or puncturing, using medications, and surgical intervention when necessary.
1. Maintain good hygiene: Keep the area around the eyes clean and avoid touching the eyes or the boil to prevent the spread of infection. Clean the eye area with a mild facial cleanser or saline solution.
2. Warm compress: Use a clean, warm, moist towel or hot water bag to gently apply warm compresses to the affected area for about 15–20 minutes at a time, repeated several times daily. Warm compresses help promote rupture and drainage of pus from the boil and relieve pain.
3. Avoid squeezing or puncturing: Do not squeeze or puncture the boil, as this may worsen the infection or cause it to spread to other areas. Allow the boil to rupture or resolve naturally.
4. Medication: Under a doctor's guidance, topical medications such as mupirocin ointment or fusidic acid sodium ointment may be used for treatment.
5. Surgical intervention: If the boil persists, pain worsens, vision is affected, or other severe symptoms develop, a doctor may recommend surgical intervention, such as incision and drainage, to remove the pus within the boil.
If symptoms persist or become severe, seek medical attention immediately to prevent worsening of the condition.
