Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history.
These symptoms are usually seen in allergic conjunctivitis or dry eyes.
Hence if I were to be your treating doctor I would like to use antiallergic eye drops like olopatadine and artificial tears eye drops.

If the symptoms are recurrent then you need to consult your doctor.

Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
