Let me explain: If you allergic to that medicine, you should stop it, and use some steroid medication as drop and ointment. It will clam down.

??: You knew you were allergic before you put it on or after? Benedryl and cold compresses should help. If it doesn't resolve or worsens, please see your eye doctor.
