Itching mainly indicates allergic reaction. Frequently washing eyes with cold water relieves d allergy. Lotel is a mild steroid so shud b used under observation of ophthalmologist.
Olopat eye drops twice a day....along with talimus eye ointment at night ( rice grain amount into d eyes) are helpful in allergy cases.
Next Steps
try d drops and ointment atleast for a month as it takes time to act.
Health Tips
If not resolving better to show ophthalmologist.

Lotel is a steroid and should not be used for long term.
You should consult a specialist for alternatives.
