It could be: All those symptoms you describe are those found with a pink eye. See the Dr. and get examined and treated to be sure. Good luck.

Yes: Depending on the cause there are different treatments. If viral, it will resolve with time. If bacterial, it will need an antibiotic. This is highly contagious, make sure you wash your hands! See your doctor for an exam if you are worried/symptoms getting worse. Best of luck!

Conjunctivitis: Sounds like it could be conjunctivitis, possibly bacterial given that discharge. You may need an antibiotic drop.
