how long does an eye infection suppose to last if I don't usually have any eye problems?

I'm not even sure how I got this infection- my eye was itchy a few days ago and after too much touching-I guess-it got real red and swollen. It hurt for like a day and now it just keeps the redness. something to be worried about? any eye professionals there? I don't use glasses or contacts so I'm kinda bad at this- never gave my eye any special attention...thanks!

  • You see, it's a bit of a problem to make a diagnosis over the net without even looking at your eyes. Suppose I gave you a diagnosis, would you count on it? It's your eyesight - do you really want to risk it? You mat consult an ophthalmologist (eye doctor).
