Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic
I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.
I reviewed your history.
These symptoms indicate ecchymosis of the eye with swelling of conjunctiva, the layer which covers the sclera because of either allergy or secondary to rubbing of the eye.
The use of decongestant eye drops will be of help in providing in symptomatic relief.
Washing the eye with normal or slightly cold water will also be of help.
This is not a serious condition and it will resolve hence no need to be worried.
Hope this information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
