So I've had this stye for 5 days now and it has only gotten worse.
I tried using warm tea bags and warm rags as well as salt water, but nothings working. I've gotten styes before and this has got to be the worse.

If anyone has any tips please help

Most things say to just leave it as it is, as there's not really a home remedy to heal it, only alleviate the symptoms. And don't pop it.
You seem to be doing all that you can with it; just keep compressing it so that eventually it'll rupture and heal on its own, you'll just have to suffer a few days.

If it doesn't go away after a week or so you can try some stye cream from Walmart, or some antibiotic stye cream from a doctor. Mines didn't go away even after all that so I had to get surgery on my eye to get it removed. It didn't hurt much, the lady just numbed my eye with a needle and then cut it open at the top of my eyelid. Then she took some stuff out, and drained it.
