Good morning! how long has the irritation been there? If it is for 1 or 2 days and only in one eye then it could be a foreign body, Otherwise it could be allergic. Rubbing the eyes will aggravate the condition and can cause scratches on the cornea
Next Steps
Your brother requires eye drops please initiate a video consult so that I can advise further.
