Hello
It seems from the history that you are having red and sore eyes with discharge.
Since the symptoms is seen involving both the eyes it is probably infective conjunctivitis.
The treatment is by use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs and antibiotic eye drops.
Since it appears to be infective close contact with others should be avoided and use of common kerchiefs or towels should be avoided.

Thank you
