Hi,
Thank you for posting the query; I have read it with diligence.
It does not seem a serious concern to me as of now. You may want to wait and see what happens for a couple of days.
It is mostly an allergic conjunctivitis. You may consider using artificial tears or eye drops such as refresh tears or add tears.
Maintain adequate hygiene of your eyes. It should be gone in a couple of days. Else, you may want to see your GP after 2-3 days.
Get well soon.
