Hi,
Itching,burning or swollen eyes could be due to allergic or infective(viral mostly)conjunctivitis,keratitis,blepharitis etc.
The treatment is mainly symptomatic.
The diagnosis can be made by ophthalmoscopic examination by eye specialist.
You may require topical instillation of eye drops containing antihistamines and antibiotics (mostly from quinolones group) with some time oral antihistamines and antibiotics.
Consult Opthalmologist for further advise.
