A person charged with a criminal or traffic offense is called the defendant. The defendant can choose from the pleas of guilty, not guilty, not guilty by reason of insanity, or no-contest. Entering a plea refers to the judgeâs act of formally noting a defendantâs plea, or âenteringâ it, in the courtâs official file.
A stye or hordeolum is a small, painful lump on the inside or outside of the eyelid. It is actually an abscess filled with pus and is usually caused by a staphylococcus bacteria eye infection. Styes are common with most people experiencing one or two of them at some stage in their life.
A. A Stye is an infection of a gland of an eyelid. Usually this happens because the gland has been blocked. The stye will almost look like a 'pimple' and can point inwards towards the eye or outwards. It can be sore and painful. A good treatment for most styes are warm compresses. This means taking a warm towel and pressing it on the eyelid, with your eyes closed for 15 minutes at a time. Do this four times a day. Also stop wearing makeup since this can make the infection worse. Most styes resolve within a few weeks. Sometimes antibiotic eyedrops are given by doctors. Also, if the stye is not getting better within a few weeks, an eye doctor may drain it.
