Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As your daughter is having contact dermatitis and infection of the conjunctiva of the eyes and she is using antibiotic eye drops and drugs to control allergic reactions.
Contact dermatitis is a type of allergic reactions because of prolonged exposure to a particular antigen to which you are very sensitive. For this your daughter need to take antihistamines to control the symptoms.
As your daughter is on antibiotic drops for her eye symptoms, if she is having allergic reactions and irritation of the eyes, she can take put soothing eye drops to reduce the symptoms along with the antibiotic drops.
Thank you.
