Hello
welcome to health care magic.
Most of the times treatment is not necessary as it is self limiting condition..artificial tears may be helpful to combat irritation and discomfort..
In severe cases only topical steriod eye drops are used..
usually it resolves in 7- 10 days..
Hope you understand my answer
Thank you
