Hi Vinuta,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Steroid eye drops are required in a child with allergic conjunctivitis.

Try and avoid the allergen if one is identified. (It is difficult to identify a allergen in most cases)

Please continue the treatment as advised by your doctor.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
