To do a warm compress all you need to do is: 1  Take a clean and soft cloth and dip it in hot water. 2  Ensure the water is not too hot but a little more than warm. 3  Rinse the cloth. 4  Hold this warm cloth gently over your childâs sty for about five to ten minutes, depending on how comfortable your child is. 5  Do this a few times a day.
Rule #2: When abbreviating academic degrees and professional designations, use a period between each letter or element in the abbreviation. No internal spaces are necessary.
Note that when an abbreviation ends a sentence, the period that shortens the word also marks the end of the sentenceâthat is, we do not use a second period. If another punctuation mark (such as a comma or question mark) is used after an abbreviated word, it comes directly after the period.
