Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your symptoms seem to be related to conjunctivitis. The cause usually can be an infection or allergy.
Some advice that I can give to you are:
-wash and dry frequently the eyes
-use over the counter eye drops to calm the conjunctiva
-antibiotics may be needed. They are usually given as topical treatment. I usually recommend Tobradex which is a prescribed medication.You should consult your doctor about this treatment.
-Apply a compress to your eyes with cool water
