Hello

It seems you are having conjunctival chemosis due to trauma by rubbing. You should take hot fomentation, anti-biotic ointments 3-4 times a day and some anti-inflammatory drops 3 times a day.

Also, you can take anti-inflmmatory tablets for about 3 days. In span of 3 days, you problem should get resolved.

Regards
