HI,

Thanks for your question

It seems the problem is mainly in your eyelid not the eye itself as the eye is not red. You can use over the counter lubricant eye drops such as systane eye drops 3-4 times a day.

I think you can buy phenicol eye drop as over the counter and without prescription. Use it 2-3 times a day.

In case you didnt feel any improvement within 3-4 days or your condition gets worse, you have to visit an eye doctor as soon as possible
