Hello,
It could be an early sign of conjunctivitis. As a first-line management, you can try antibiotic eye drops like Ciplox for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult an ophthalmologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
