Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us.
The burning beneath the eyes could be due to some irritant reaction.
I would appreciate if you could attach an image of affected area.
In the meanwhile, take tablet levocetirizine twice in a day and apply fluticasone(steroid) twice in a day.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
