Hello,
It could be a conjunctivitis. As of now, wash the eyes thoroughly with clean water multiple times in the day. Avoid rubbing of eyes. If symptoms persist better to consult an ophthalmologist and get evaluated. In severe cases you might require antibiotics drops like ciprofloxacin eye drops may be required.
