eyes have itching and burning

Asked for female patient, 20 years

I have itching and burning in my eyes. My eyes become red and sometimes swollen. They feel very irritated and uncomfortable. Sometimes there is also watering in my eyes. Because of this, it becomes difficult for me to keep my eyes open for a long time. The problem has been there for a few days. I think it may be due to infection or allergy. Please check my eyes and suggest the proper medicine.

Itching, burning, redness, and watering of the eyes may be caused by an allergy, infection, or dry eyes. Please avoid rubbing your eyes and visit Dr. Chouhan Eye Hospital for a proper eye examination. After checking your eyes, our specialist will diagnose the exact cause and prescribe the appropriate treatment and medicines.
