He most probably has allergic conjunctivitis. Do not start any treatment by yourself and make sure u get him evaluated by an ophthalmologist. Treatment will include cold compresses, identification and avoidance of the allergen and eye drops which may have to be used for a month or two. The problem may not have a permanent cure and usually recurs.

Hello. I think you have allergic conjunctivitis.
1. Eye allergies, called allergic conjunctivitis, are a common condition that occurs when the eyes react to something that irritates them (called an allergen).
2. The eyes produce a substance called histamine to fight off the allergen. As a result, the eyelids and conjunctiva (the thin, filmy membrane that covers the inside of your eyelids) become red, swollen and itchy, with tearing and burning.
The key to treating eye allergies is
a. Avoid or limit contact with the substance causing the problem.
B. Avoid rubbing eyes instead do cold compresses.
C. Use antiallergic eyedrop like olopat eyedrop twice daily
d. Lubricating eyedrop like flogel thrice daily
e. Use mild steroid like flurisone in pulse dose in severe allergy
this will help you I am very sorry dear to say that there is no medicine that can cure allergy. Only way is to stay away from all those things that you are allergic to.
This is a provisional diagnosis. consult your ophthalmologist for detailed examination
It may be due to rubbing of eye with fingers leading to secondary infection ,put some antibiotic eye drops 4-5 times for 3days (vigamox eye drops) if does not respond consult some local Opthalmologist .
