Itchy Right Eye, Redness, Swelling. Applying Zaditor Drops. Suggestions?

Had a very itchy right eye and somewhat itchy left eye- put in Zaditor drop in right eye yesterday. Today woke up and had a very swollen/puffy left eyelid and it hurts when I blink. I did have one uveitis flare up about 5 years ago. Not sure what I am dealing with. I was thinking allergies since I have had some redness and swelling in both eyes- but no discharge and the itchy is almost gone.
