Dermatologist 's  Response
Looks like you are suffering from acute conjunctivitis. As you have fever too, I suspect it would be bacterial conjunctivitis. Please see an opthalmologist asap. In the mean time use gatifloxacin eye drops every 3 hourly.

Dermatologist Dr. Gaurang Krishna's  Response
You can go to a chemist and ask for gatiflox eye drops which are basically antibiotic eyedrops. And please do not delay your visit to an eye specialist.
