It's most likely allergic conjunctivitis. You need to visit an Ophthalmologist for detailed examination. However, for now online consultation will do. If your child is not allowing you to put drops we can try with ointment which you can put before he sleeps.
Next Steps
take an online consult
Health Tips
Avoid rubbing eyes as it will further aggravate symptoms.

It's allergic conjunctivitis. Ice fomentation can help relieve itching to some extent. However antiallergic drops like Olopat eye drop twice a day is needed to cure it.
