Dear Jahnavi.Duvvuru, Thanks for posting the question. From the symptoms that you have described you seem to be sufferring from a case of acute conjunctivitis probably of allergic origin. You need to keep your eyes clean by wiping the margins of your eyelids with moist cotton and may need to instill antibiotic, anti allergic and steroid eye drops after consultation with your ophthalmologist. Don't splash too much water or frequently wash your affected eye as it will not only wash away the medications but at times might also aggravate the condition.

Ophthalmologist,  Dr. Kumar Sambhav's  Response
Dear sir,
you might be having conjunctivitis. It will take 3-5 days. Use some antibiotic eye drops and may be some lubricants for soothe. If problem persists, contact a nearby ophthalmologist.
