No need to go to ER. Start treatment as advised.

I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
*The first step in management in such cases is STOP using contact lenses until you get better.
*Wash the eye with normal tap water 5 times a day.
*If I was your treating physician I would have prescribed you with Femicone eye drops.
*Tablet Loratadine.
Don't worry, it is just an allergic reaction and will soon be over with the treatment.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns or doubts. I will be more than happy to get back to you in no time. If satisfied here, please give a generous five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
For any disease you have, a timely follow-up after sometime regarding the treatment efficacy and to see any need to change the treatment options is very necessary. Keep a follow up some days after this visit session ends.
