Irritated red eye

Question

Irritated red eye

Asked for Female, 19 Years

Yesterday I put in my contact on my right eye in a rush and forgot to wash my hands. It was the worst burning sensation ever. When I took the contact out my eye was tearing and and the whole white part of my eye was red. It was supposed to go away today but it's still red and white crust forms around the eye when I wake up. My pupil is sensitive.
