Hi,
From your history it seems that apart from allergic conjunctivitis you might have bacterial infection as well.
Here only steroid drops are not enough but require some antibiotic drops as well.
Put antibiotic eye drops every 3-4 hourly.
Do not stop steroid drops suddenly but tapper the dose.
You may require some oral antibiotic.
Consult your doctor and take his opinion.
Ok and take care.
