My wife has been experiencing itching at the corners of both eyes and under the eyes for the past few days. Sometimes, her eyes also start watering. Should we try some home remedies, or is it better to consult a doctor for this?

Wife may be experiencing symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. I recommend using over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops such as Zaditor (Ketotifen) twice a day to help relieve the itching and watering. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the eyes can also provide relief. Make sure to avoid rubbing the eyes as it can worsen the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.
