You can start olopatadine,but please don't start lotepred without consulting an ophthalmologist. Do cold compresses and also put some lubricant eye drops eg teardrops 3to 4times daily .

You have to also use a lubricant eyedrops along with cyclosporine eyedrops. Allergic conjunctivitis keeps recurring . Keep cool compress for your eyes using cucumber or potato slice . And your lubricant eyedrops should be preferably preservative free.
Next Steps
Book an online consultation, share the image of eye for further information.
