Tablet Loratadine twice daily.
Femicone eye drops in the affected eye (first day 3 times, then 2 times a day 2 drops only until the eyes gets better).
Ibuprofen 800mg three times a day on first day, then twice daily until no pain an inflammation settles down with no redness and itching etc.
Precautions:
Avoid excessive coffee,tea, chocolates and energy drinks.
No soda, alcohol, no cigarette.
Avoid horse riding or any other sports until issue resolved.
No bike riding. Avoid dryness of eye.
