Hello
It seems from the history that you are having respiratory tract infection, for which you are on treatment with zyretc benadryl and claritin. The treatment for respiratory infection is fine but you need to take treatment for eye infection which is most probably infective conjunctivitis with source of infection from respiratory infection.
This requires treatment by antibiotic eye drops.
Hence I advice you to consult eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
