Hi,
Is there any discharge or stickiness? Most likely this suggest beginning of conjunctivitis, that can be treated with local antibiotic drops and analgesics. Kindly get it examined by an ophthalmologist, as we have to be sure that this is not glaucoma (increase in eye pressure). Meanwhile, do frequent rinsing with clean water and take paracetamol for relieving pain/discomfort.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
