What Is The Treatment For Sore And Swollen Eyes?

Hi. For about a week now my eye has been sore and swells. It s is extremely itchy and nothing is helping. Today I pulled a string of gunk out of my eye. What could it be? Is this impetigo or pink eye or both? How can I help relieve the pain and itch. Thanks

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having soreness of eyes associated with swelling and itching of the eyes.
This indicates infection of the eyes in the form of conjunctivitis.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotic eye drops and antiinflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
