Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness of cornea and inflammation of cornea.
The inflammation of cornea is called as keratitis and it requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs. Since you give history of previous herpes simplex this can be reactivation of herpes simplex. This requires use of antiviral drugs along with the antibiotics. Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
