What Is The Remedy For Itchy Eyes After Virus Infection?
I thought I had pink eye in both my eyes, after having the virus for a few days. I woke up and my eyes were sticking and itching and all and i started eye drops for it, but then, i had cellulitis before in my one eye and it got all red around the eye lid on top and bottom and side, so I started antibotic right away.. might I not need the drops?

Hello
It seems from the history that you had a viral infection followed by itchy eyes. The itchy eyes is because of associated conjunctivitis.
The treatment of the condition is mainly by using anti-allergic and decongestant eye drops. Use of artificial eye drops provides symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and prescription of drugs.
Thank you
