Suggest Treatment For Severe Redness In The Eyes

my eyes mostly the left side have been red and i have a lot of stiky greenish - white lumpy string that hurt under my eyelid and are not easy to get out even with flushing. I almost have to try to pull them out if it does';t hurt way to much. I have showered and gotten my eyes to feel better then it comes back. the right side just feels like its starting to do the same thing.

hi.. Thanks for the query..
It could be a bacterial conjunctivitis... You need to use antibiotic eye drops along with some lubricating eye drops. It generally affects both eyes so don't worry..
It is contagious.. So be careful it can attack others in the family too.
Wash your eyes with cold water for relief.. Use soft wipes to clean the eyes..
It will come down in probably a week..Take care..
