See an eye doctor to get a slit lamp exam.
Thank you for reaching out. Its best to schedule a medical visit for the doctor to review your cornea under the microscope and prescribe the necessary medication. Thank you!
You should seek eyecare nearby immediately. It can be serious issue. Sorry I couldn’t help remotely without seeing it. Good luck
You most likely have conjunctivitis and will need prescription eye drops.
The symptoms you describe could be several different eye conditions. Allergic conjunctivitis or a viral infection would be high on my list of possibilities to investigate. An eye doctor should be seen to determine if medication is appropriate.
Please see your an eye doctor right away. It sounds like you will need steroid eye drops.
Sir, There are many eye problems that this may be including allergic conjunctivitis which usually has itching as a symptom. But this can certainly be something else. Are these "white things" something that can be another type of eye problem? This needs to be evaluated by an eye doctor in order to determine exactly what the problem is and how it should be treated, ASAP, please. If you have a family MD, they should be able to refer you, unless you already have an optometrist(OD) or an ophthalmologist(MD). Good luck.
Sounds like allergic conjunctivitis
