I have been using eye drops for allergic conjunctivitis since last week, but I am now experiencing eye pain. How long will it take for the symptoms to subside, and do I need to change my medication?

Eye drops for allergic conjunctivitis should relieve symptoms, not cause eye pain. Developing new eye pain is a warning sign that requires immediate evaluation by an eye doctor, as it could indicate a corneal injury, infection, or an adverse reaction to the drops. You should stop using the drops and schedule an eye exam today; do not change your medication without professional advice. Once the correct cause is identified and treated, symptoms usually begin to subside within 24 to 48 hours. Please seek immediate care if you notice vision changes, discharge, or if the pain worsens.
