Red eye with swelling all around
My mother has got her right eye red with swelling around the eye. It is itching and causing irritation and a clear-white discharge is coming. This has been going on for five days. She is on antibiotic eye drop, tube and oral anti allergic medication for this but it isn't improving. She has herpes on her back a month ago, could this be herpes in her eye or is it just viral conjunctivitis? Please refer to the attached image.
