Hello
It seems that you are suffering from acute bacterial conjunctivitis and use of steroids in contra-indicated in this situation. You should give warm compresses and use anti-biotic eye drops 2 hourly. Also, use an anti-biotic eye ointment at bed time.
You can also take some anti-inflammatory tablets for 3 days. Meanwhile, you should take care of the hygiene of your eyes.
Regards
