Hello and thank you for sending the question.
It sounds like he may have a bit of infection affecting her eye. If the allergy medications are not helping and the itching continues it is most likely in her best interest to contact her local primary care physician for evaluation. You may benefit from a topical antibiotic or a combination of an antibiotic and topical cortisone eyedrop -these are medications which would require prescription.
