Red,swollen,itchy: Don't apply anything in your eyes unless it's for ophthalmic use. Itchy,swollen eyes are usually caused by an allergic reaction to something that came in contact with them. Apply cool compresses but if no improvement, see your MD or an ophthalmologist for evaluation of pink eye, inflammation and/or allergic reaction.
