It seems from the history that you are having watering from left eye with itching of the skin under the eye.
These symptoms indicate a probable inflammatory condition of the eye like blepharitis. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye ointment and anti-inflammatory drugs.
I would like to treat this by the use of antibiotic eye ointment like Moxifloxacin eye ointment and anti-inflammatory drugs. Along with this use of anti-allergic drugs like cetrizine will provide symptomatic relief.
Yes I advice you to use antibiotic eye ointment like Moxifloxacin eye ointment and anti-allergic drugs like Cetrizine.
