Hello, if eye pain is not caused by a foreign object entering the eye, it is most likely due to ocular inflammation resulting from bacterial infection. The patient should seek medical evaluation and treatment as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration and potential vision impairment. Therefore, we recommend visiting a hospital promptly for appropriate management. Avoid frequently rubbing your eyes with your hands, maintain good ocular hygiene, and minimize eye strain to facilitate recovery. Additionally, you may consult a healthcare provider for prescription eye care medications. I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
