Hello
It seems from the history that you are having eye irritation and burning sensation for last 3 weeks.
These symptoms indicate allergic conjunctivitis and the treatment is by use of anti-allergic drugs. The antihistamine drugs are the most commonly used drugs and steroid eye drops are required in severe non responding cases.
The treatment is usually required for a long time as allergic conditions tend to run a long course and along with this you need to avoid allergen if any causing eye allergies.
Thank you
