Hi..Can understand your concern..As per your query about intense pain,redness and drainage from eyes can be a infection like conjunctivitis.Sometimes they do not respond to specific antibiotic..You need to consult you Ophthalmologist for change in medications.Since you are also having fever,headache,body ache and nasal congestion it seems that you have got viral fever for which you need to take antibiotic like amoxicillin and analgesic like paracetamol.I hope it will give you relief and information going to help you.Take care.
