Brief Answer:
Rest and Antibiotic drops advised.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query. If you send the picture of affected eye it will be more helpful.
As it is already 5 days I would suggest antibiotic ointments like Moxifloxacin to apply twice daily. It is a prescription ointment. You can get chloramphenicol eye drops which is OTC drops. This you can apply twice daily two drops on each eye.
Proper rest should be taken.Washing eye with cold water is good also.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help.
Thanks.
