Q. Which medicine can I take for itchiness in eyes?
Hi doctor,
I am a 25 year old male. There is a lot of itchiness in eyes for the past three to four days. Please tell me what to do. Which medicine can I take?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- I think you have allergic conjunctivitis. Eye allergies, called allergic conjunctivitis, are a common condition that occurs when the eyes react to something that irritates them (called an allergen).
- 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,
- Avoid or limit contact with the substance causing the problem.
- Avoid rubbing eyes instead do cold compresses.
- Use antiallergic eyedrops like Olopat eyedrop (Olopatadine) twice daily.
- Also can use lubricating eyedrop like Flogel (Sodium carboxymethylcellulose) thrice daily.
- Use mild steroid like Flurisone (Fluorometholone) in pulse dose in severe allergy.
- This will help you. I am very sorry 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.
