What Causes Itching And Secretion Of Yellow Fluid From Eyes?

Hello, yesterday I was in the store, when suddenly my eye had a very bad itch to it. Of course, I thought it was eyelash so I tried my best to get it out. But then I noticed it was yellow-ish and it was coming out from the corners of my eye. I was really worried, and I asked my father about it. He told me it may be the lotion I put on my face, because I've never been used to putting it on my face. I didn't know what to do afterwards except wash my face and I kept a damp towel beside me because it was constantly burning. It started to feel as if it was a rock in my eye but there wasn't anything there. Then I woke up the next day, and I had it in my other eye, they are both blurry, oozing yellow-ish puss, and they quite itchy. I'm not sure if it the cold I have for about 4 days now, but it is really bothering me. What should I do about this?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having itching and yellow discharge from the eyes.
This indicates acute inflammation of the conjuncitiva resulting in acute conjunctivitis.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotic eye drops and oral anti-inflammatory drugs.
The diseases is known to spread to other eye as it has occurred in you already. It can spread to your near ones yes appropriate precautions like avoiding close contact, sharing hand kerchiefs or towels should be avoided.

Thank you
