Hello
It seems from the history that you are sufferring from inflammation of conjunctiva which is characterized by redness, watering and irritation of the eye. Most of these are caused by viruses and most of them are self limiting and few may get complicated by secondary bacterial infection. The treatment is by antibiotic eye drops to prevent complications.
You need to consult eye doctor for correct diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you
