Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having redness and swelling of the eye.
These symptoms indicate infection of the eye in the form of conjunctivitis.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
