Answered by Dr. N K Mishra (21 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Combined allergy and infection

Detailed Answer:
MY dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
The itching is due to allergy with some superadded infection.You need to wash your eyes with plain water and add ciplox D eye drops 4 time a day and a antibiotic eye ointment like Neosporine ointment at bed time.You will be fine in 3 to 4 days and the drops are not to be continued beyond a week.
Any further query in this regard please do get back to me.

how many drops at once

Answered by Dr. N K Mishra (6 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
One drop at a time

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
good of you to get back to me.
Anything more than a drop is a wastage.One drop at a time is good enough.As there is no drop in the night,application of ointment has a prolonged effect and applying ointment in the day time makes the eye smudgy and there is difficulty in seeing.
I feel I have answered your query fully.In case there are no further questions you may rate this answerWish you a speedy recovery.
