You need to stop wearing your contacts until the symptoms disappear, and throw those contacts away and use new ones when you start wearing them again.Hot compresses a few times a day will help. As strange as this may sound, steep a couple of tea bags (real tea, not green tea or herbal tea), and place the moist tea bags on your eyes.
