Brief Answer:
Eyes

Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
The most likely diagnosis is a viral illness that will resolve on it's own. Keep the eyes clean with a damp washcloth or cotton ball. If the symptoms persist, or the fever persists, beyond 3 days, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
