it will go by itself
Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thank you for using HealthcareMagic .
I have gone through your question and I can understand your concern.
Usually, it goes by itself within maximum 3 weeks.
Use warm compresses to speed up the healing process and if you have pain, take Ibuprofen (200mg thrice daily after food for next 2-3 days).
If it does not go away despite following these, you should be seen by an ophthalmologist for further management.
