Hi XXXXXXX
Do not worry.!
It is called conjunctivitis.
Eye infection may be viral or bacterial!
For now clean the eyes with clean and warm water and clean kerchief or preferably tissues!
Clean from inner part of eye to the outer end and then throw the wipes.
Morning go to the doctor and get antibiotic eye drops prescribed.
after examination.
