advice with eye infection

Hello,
4 days ago in the evening when taking off my contacts I noticed that my right eye upper eyelid was swollen. The next morning, my right eye was very red and swollen, no other symptoms. I saw my doctor and gave me sulfacetamide sodium ophthalmic drops. After starting the drops, now 3 full days no improvement and the eye is now constantly watering (tearing clear especially at night) in addition to being red and swollen. I have no other symptoms and left eye is fine. I'll call my doctor tomorrow just not sure whether to continue using the drops or stop since not showing any improvement. thanks for any help! james

Please call your doctor.  This could be a  viral infection.
