Brief Answer:
Get your eye chek up done with ophthalmologist asap

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Health care magic. Hope you get a satisfactory answer to your problem. I need to get some detailed history of your problem and your medical history as well. As far as you described it seems to be a subconjunctival hemorrhage which usually is just blood in your eye with out any itching or pain. It is most of the time without any cause and resolves on its own without any particular medication. So that is just a blood colored eye for few days not harmful to you but if this is associated with any itching or discharge from your eye which may be causing sticky eye then i could be infection of the eye. For that after examining your eye the ophthalmologist will prescibe you eyedrops. So get your appointment done with doctor as soon as possible. Hope you will be good soon. Thanks.
