It is very common problem with people who are using contact lens especially in summer, you should discontinue using contact lens for a fortnight  at least & keep contact lens  in chemical solution for a week, till you can wear glass. You should use Tobrex & genteal eye drops before inserting & after taking out  contact lens regularly. Contact lens should not be used  for more than 5-6 hrs continuously.
