Hello
It seems from the history that you are having sticky discharge and itching in the eyes following yellow fever.
These symptoms indicate infection of the eyes in the form of acute conjunctivitis.
The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
