 [ Symptoms ] my vaginal area is swollen and coldfever like symptoms and facial pain [ Disease ] i am sorry to hear you are going through this it sounds awful first thing wash your hands very thoroughly before and after touching that eye in the event it turns out you have conjunctivitis pinkeye you can easily spread it to others with your fingers plus you do not want to contaminate your ailing eye with any other germs when you touch it second what you are describing is not normal there are several possible explanations for your swollen eye but you need an examination by a medical professional to get a diagnosis if the swelling and gunk are confined to just one eye it could be a symptom of a foreign body in the eye    so do not rub it never take chances with your vision i suggest you either go to urgent care or make an appointment as soon as possible with your primary care provider wishing you well
