eye flu redness treatment - #19334

Rashi

I am dealing with this really annoying situation with my eyes lately, and honestly, it’s kinda freaking me out. I woke up last week with this redness around my eyes, and it felt like I had an eye flu or something, you know? Like, they were watery and itchy, and I could barely open them without that stingy feeling. I went to see my doc, and he mentioned eye flu and redness treatment but didn’t really explain what that involves. Is it just resting my eyes, or are there specific drops or meds? My friend told me about some over-the-counter solutions, but then I read that some treatments aren't really effective, and I'm not sure what’s right. I want this redness to go away, and it’s a bit embarrassing since I have to be on video calls for work. I also have this fear of it spreading, especially since eye flu sounds contagious! I swear it gets worse at night when I’m tired. Could someone explain what kind of eye flu redness treatment really works? If anyone here has gone through this, what helped you? How long does it usually take to clear up?
