What Causes Redness And Swelling In The Eye?

Hello. My 7 year old woke up this morning with her left eye red and slightly puffy. She is complaining that it is itchy. We traveled away from home and she is competing in jiujitsu tomorrow morning. Can I use visine drops in her eye to relieve the itchiness?

it is viral conjunctivitis. can take tab livocetrizine 5mg in morning can apply cromal eye drop. as per symptoms it is only allergic conjunctivitis. visine is is only artificial tear used to treat dry eye so it will not be effective.
