Eye irritation

Question

Eye irritation

Asked for Female, 20 Years

I've had the same problem twice in 5 months. For about one week, my will be red to start with and then feel very strained and itchy. It feels like there is something in it and when I blink it feels like it is scratching it. This time is not as bad as the first time as I have been putting golden eye ointment in it since it started. Just wondering if you think it could be anything serious to worry about it just a simple infection. Many thanks.
