Brief Answer:
Hello--I understand your concern here and this needs evaluation

Detailed Answer:
From your photo I can tell this isn't conjunctivitis--an eye infection.

If you have tenderness under the eye this is probably a sinus infection and while it may resolve in a few days you should have a doctor take a look to see if you need a course of antibiotics
