Hello,
It seems from the history that you are having inflammation of conjunctiva probably allergic in nature.
The treatment of allergic inflammations usually is time consuming and requires treatment for long time.
The first step is to identify the allergen and to avoid if possible. The second step is by using medications in the from of eye drops.
Do continue the drops as advised by your doctor and if you want more information please do mention the name of the eye drops which you are using, so that I can suggest you alternate eye drops.

Thank you
