Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having red eyes with pus discharge. This is pink eye or conjunctivitis only as dry eyes will not present with pus discharge.
This requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye drops and anti-inflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and for prescription of drugs.
Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
