I'm not a doctor, but rinsing your eye with salt water may potentially help soothe some symptoms of a stye. A stye is usually caused by a blocked oil gland on the eyelid, and while salt water may not directly treat the underlying cause, it could provide temporary relief by decreasing inflammation and promoting healing. However, it's always best to consult with an eye care professional or your primary care doctor for proper evaluation and advice on managing a stye.
