Should I Go To A Doctor For Redness In The Eyes?

I have one eye that is red on one side. Initially it cleared up after three days. Two days later it was read again. This time it does not seem to be clearing itself. There is no discomfort. I do have allergies that cause my eyes to be watery sometimes and dry others times. Usually itchie. I am taking benedryl twice a day and that keeps the itchiness away. Should I take my eye to a doctor or give it a few more days to clear up?

Hi,

It could be the allergy dear . I would advise you to take olopatadine eye drops twice daily for a month . If that doesn't work we can think about steroids eye drops later as they have their own set of side effects . avoid dust and dirt and do not run your eyes as it will aggravate the conditions.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
