What Could Itchy, Watery Eyes With Swelling And Redness Indicate?
Hello, this morning i woke up and my eyes were fine. But shortly after i woke my one eye became very itchy. I couldn t help myself, and i ended up itching it. I couldn t stop and now it is red, swollen, itchy, and it is watering a lot, and its kind of gooey. I really dont feel like this is pink eye because it was never crusty and i didnt wake up with it this way. could it be allergies?

Hello,
Yes, it is most likely to be due to an allergic reaction. You can take tablet levocetrizine, 10 mg at bedtime for about a week. You can put lubricating eye drops to prevent the crusts.
