Watery Eyes. Taking Antihistamines, Improving
Good Evening,
my girlfriends eyes have been excessively watering non stop for at least a weak now. she shows no other signs that it would be sinusitis, however, her symptoms lessen with antihistamine. Her current health care provider is in LA and we both live in san diego so its quite a long trip if we could solve this on our own that would be great , but since I'm no doctor I can't really even diagnose her. any help you can provide would be fantastic
Respectfully

Hello,
It seems from the history that your girl friend is having allergic inflammation of eyes which may be responsible for watery eyes. This may be responsible for reduction in symptoms with antihistamines.
Allergic conditions usually require treatment for long time before the disease is cured. This usually requires treatment under supervision of ophthalmologist depending on the severity of the condition.
Hence I advice you to continue antihistamines and if it is not responding then you have to consult eye doctor for treatment.
Thank you
