Hi thanks for asking question in Chat Doctor. Here swab comes negative so might be viral conjunctivitis or allergic. Here is some suggestion for you. Use lubricant eye Chat Doctor. Whenever you have sticky discharge, don't remove directly with hand. This sticky discharge removed with cotton well soaked in water. Remove it gently. Do frequent handwashing. Sometime conjunctivitis may be because of rubbing eye with hand or allergy to contact sense. In such case antihistamines is to be used, like cetirizine. Take enough rest. I hope my suggestion will help you.
