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.
I use a period after abbreviations like Mr. or Mass.. But note that the Post Office considers NY, CT, etc. to be symbols (postal symbols) and unlike abbreviations both letters are caps and there is no period. So, Ct. is an abbreviation and takes a period, but CT is a symbol and does not.
