I scratched my eye trying to wipe it but pressed to hard it was red so i put eye drops in and it got worse there is a jelly look to the white part did?

Swelling or edema: will cause the conjunctiva to look like jelly. Rinse your eye with room temperature artificial tears or tap water, and then apply a cold compress. Superficial scrathches usually heal in 24 hours, so if not remarkably better, it needs to be evaluated by your doctor or eye doctor.
