Brief Answer:
Could be conjunctivitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

It could be due to acute conjunctivitis which is likely to be bacterial infection or some sort of allergy.

You will need antibiotic eye drops like ciprofloxacin with antihistamines oral tablets.

But it would be helpful if you send me the clinical picture of the eye,so that I can guide you better.

Regards,
