The symptoms you have can be caused by Allergic conjunctivitis, Blepharitis or Dry eye. You should be evaluated by an Eye doctor and be prescribed appropriate medication.

Betnesol N eye drops will control allergy but it is not meant for long term use. The symptoms you have can be caused by Allergic conjunctivitis, Blepharitis or Dry eye.
