go see the doctor



sounds like seasonal allergies. or it could be dryness

try using an over the counter allergy eyedrop (visine makes a great one). this should help relieve the itch

you can also try an over the counter allergy pill like tylenol allergy and sinus or Claritin which is similar to prescription strength allergy medicines.

if after trying these methods-you're still in agony-make an appt to see your dr. you might need prescription eyedrops or allergy medication to take care of the problem

don't apply anything like lotions or creams to the skin near your eyes-it could accidently get into the eye and cause severe problems.

also if you don't have eye drops then you should probably get some over the counter ones to help relieve the dryness and itching.

Hope this helped and hope your eye gets better! <3



It's very hard to say what it is online like this, but I'd recommend you go and see a professional. First, find a trained pharmacist. By which I don't mean the cashier at your local drugstore/chemist shop. But any drugstore/chemist that sells prescription medication should have a professional pharmacist working there. Professional pharmacists actually have quite a lot of medical training, and if it's something that will go away on its own, or if it can be solved with an over-the-counter remedy, they can tell you there and then. For minor problems it's better, quicker, and cheaper than going to a doctor; and in my experience, they won't just try and sell you stuff either. If it is more serious (conjunctivitis is a possibility), and requires prescription medication, then they'll send you to a doctor, and you should see one.



it looks like allergy. avoid the suspecting allergen. for the treatment some eye drops will help you
