Redness with itching indicate towards allergic condition with superadded mild infection, you may use vigamox eye drops 5-6 times+ Pataday eye drops once or twice for few days & if you don't get relief ,you may consult local ophthalmologist.

The foreign body sensation is because of tissue reaction of your eye in response to the infection.
