Not sure: But you could have a cellulitis of the orbits. You could have a problem with your eyelids. If you can;t see because your eyes are swollen shut i would suggest you go to an ophthalmologist to evaluate this. They may ask for imaging to see inside your orbits.

Conjunctivitis: Probably not related to medical condition. Need antibiotic drops and possible antibiotic/steroid drops to treat the conjunctivitis.
