Question 2

why do my eyes itch and burn when i rub them. even if i put i drops in the itch like crazy

Try not to rub: Your eyes are sensitive to mechanical irritation, such as rubbing. Try avoiding this &amp; use an over the counter antihistamine eye drop like Zaditor™ twice daily. After three days your itching should decrease. Also to temporiize the itching eyes, cold compresses may help. If you are experiencing sneezing, itching &amp; runny nose, an oral antihistamine like Claritin™ will help too. If no improvement: MD
