Only itching is not due to infection but due to allergy , you should use Tobrasone eye drops 3times daily for a week .

if there is only itching  then  it maybe allergy  then use antallergic eye drops 2to3 times daily e.g. olopatadine  and if there is discharge also then it may be infection too,in that case use antibiotic eye drops 2hourly. you can use both as well. also do hot foamentation.
