Brief Answer:
Allergy most likely

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.

This seems like an allergy. What you need is anti-allergy drop. Gentamycin is an antibiotic drop, so would not help. You can also add anti-allergy tablets like CETIRIZINE 10mg once daily for a few days as an additional support.

Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
