Hello
It seems from the history that you are having herpetic infection of the eye. The treatment is by antiviral drugs like acyclovir applied in the form of eye ointment.
It will take about 10 -14 days to respond. If it is not responding to treatment then need to reconsult your doctor and reconsider the diagnosis.
Thank you
