Thanks for the query.
From the symptoms that you have provided, this seems to be a viral fever. The sticky eye secretions may be due to conjunctivitis (may also be due to the viral infection).
Next Steps
After consulting your physician, you may take paracetamol tablets, which can give symptomatic relief. Drink plenty of water to hydrate yourself. You may wash the eyes with cold water, and avoid rubbing the eyes frequently. Anti-allergic eye drops may help. A course of vitamins may be needed.
Health Tips
Usually antibiotics are not needed in viral infection. If the symptoms are persistent, a secondary bacterial infection may be suspected, when you need to consult your doctor.
