Suggest Treatment For Soreness In Eyes And Headaches

On friday I got a chemical in my eye while I was at work. The managers said it was kind of like a bleach solution. So I flushed my eyes with water for about 15 minutes, then went to the ER. The docor put the dye in my eye and looked at it under the light. He said there was a burn on my lower eye and missed the cornea. He gave me maxitrol and told me to follow up with the ophthalmologist monday. Wel since friday Ive been haveing headaches and my eyes are sore, I feel like there is pressure behind my eyes, and my neck/ i think lymph nodes are tender, and Im tired alot. Is this all related and what should I do? thank you.
