Answers:
I will give you the information on how to treat conjunctivitis because it is one of the symptoms of hay fever!. Maybe that disease is you want to treat!.
Conjunctivitis sometimes requires medical attention!. The appropriate treatment depends on the cause of the problem!. For the allergic type, cool water constricts capillaries, and artificial tears sometimes relieve discomfort in mild cases!. In more severe cases, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and antihistamines may be prescribed!. Some patients with persistent allergic conjunctivitis may also require topical steroid drops!.
Bacterial conjunctivitis is usually treated with antibiotic eye drops or ointments that cover a broad range of bacteria (chloramphenicol or fusidic acid used in UK)!. However evidence suggests that this does not affect symptom severity and gains only modest reduction in duration from an average of 4!.8 days (untreated controls) to 3!.3 days for those given immediate antibiotics!. Deferring antibiotics yields almost the same duration as those immediately starting treatment with 3!.9 days duration, but with half the two-week clinic reattendance rate!.[2]
Although there is no specific treatment for viral conjunctivitis, symptomatic relief may be achieved with warm compresses[3] and artificial tears!. For the worst cases, topical corticosteroid drops may be prescribed to reduce the discomfort from inflammation!. However prolonged usage of corticosteroid drops increases the risk of side effects!. Antibiotic drops may also be used for treatment of complementary infections!. Patients are often advised to avoid touching their eyes or sharing towels and washcloths!. Viral conjunctivitis usually resolves within 3 weeks!. However, in worst cases it may take over a month!.
Conjunctivitis due to burns, toxic and chemical require careful wash-out with saline, especially beneath the lids, and may require topical steroids!. The more acute chemical injuries are medical emergencies, particularly alkali burns, which can lead to severe scarring, and intraocular damage!. Fortunately, such injuries are uncommon!.

Get an egg cup fill it with water then add a tiny pinch of salt only a few grains mind!. Wash out both of your eyes, then rinse with clear water!. Then wrap ice in a clean tea towel and lie down for 15 mins!. Do not rub your eyes any more tonight, get to bed and they should be ok tomorrow!. Pop into a chemist and buy some clarytin or piriton non drowsy to alleviate the hayfever!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
