Hi..... Don't rub your eyes, even though they may be itchy. Rubbing your eyes can make your symptoms worse.Place a cool compress over your eyes. Wetting a flannel with cool water and holding it over your eyes will help ease your symptoms.Avoid exposure to the allergen, if possible..... It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your ophthalmologist.... I sincerely hope that helps.
