hi, if there is problem with lower eye lid and not in the eye ball, then eye drops wont be helpful in this case,yes warm compression will be effective but u shoud take any OTC antihistaminic orally to get rid off symptoms.We are not suppose to prescribe medicines here as u are not infront of doctor.if problem persists then go to your physician.
