See Doctor: You will need to be seen by doctor for exam and then prescribed antibiotic eye drops if indicated. Not sure if there are walk-in clinics where you are currently but that would be a good place to start. If you cannot be seen urgently keep area clean, dry. Warm compresses. Then see doc as soon as you get home.
