It is possible that you have conjunctivitis. As this is a public forum I cannot prescribe medications on this forum. I would advise you to avoid rubbing your eyes. I would advise you to meet an opthalmologist so that you can be examined and the diagnosis is confirmed so that you can be treated accordingly.
