Brief Answer:
It seems like allergic condition.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Thank you for the follow up query.
Since you are having these symptoms from past three months and you are having symptomatic problems once in a month, it more likely seeming to be allergic conjunctivitis.
Hence this requires complete examination to find out the severity and treatment accordingly. You can start using antiallergic eye drops like olapatadine along with the ciplox eye drops. The allergic conditions require treatment for a long time and the drugs also takes some time before they start acting.
Hence I advice you to start antiallergic eye drops and attend follow up with your family doctor and do get eye examination once from eye doctor for confirmation of diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thank you
