Brief Answer:
May take sometime. Use antifungal and antibiotic liquids.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and have checked the attached image. It may take some time (7-10 days) for some recovery to occur. Apply some antibiotic drops (like Ciplox [ciprofloxacin] eye drop [eye drop does not matter]) as well as some antifungal drops (like Candid [clotrimazole] lotion) topically and it shoud soon be fine.
