Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness, soreness and watering of eyes. These symptoms indicate eye infection in the form of conjunctivitis. The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops.
Claritin is an anti allergic drug and is used in treatment of allergic conjunctivitis.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
