Suggest Treatment For Severe Itchiness And Redness In The Eyes

We had went to a public pool that had a lot of people in it and when we got home maybe about 1 hour leaving the water, he was rubbing his eyes and saying how much they itched. Hours later I can still see under the bags puffy and red. Should I be worried?

this can be allergy to chlorine in water or infection from some one who used the pool might have infected you. clean the eye with clean water, take tab levocetrizine 5mg twice daily and apply cromal eye drop three times daily. should improve in 2to 3days. if it is bacteria infection it will aggravate and congestion will develop. may require ofloxacin.3% eye drop 8hourly.
