Suggest Treatment For Eye Discomfort And Eyelid Swelling

My eye started feeling like something was in it a couple of hours ago. I tried allergy drops. It seemed to help for a short period of time. My eyelid is also a little swollen. There is some white goopy discharge, but I really only noticed it after using the drops. Any thoughts?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It could be either a eye infection or there could be an actual foreign body . please undergo a slit lamp exam for the same . then I can guide you. meanwhile you can start putting Moxifloxacin eye drop to contain the infection.

Hope I have answered your query.
