Allergy questions?

Dear Dr. Charlot,
I have been suffering with allergies for the past 3 weeks. My eyes are constantly running with water. The salty tears are burning around the outside of my eyes causing a crusty white substance (like salt). This is so annoying & I've tried everything. What do you recommend?

I am sorry to hear about your eye issues. Sounds like you have allergic rhinoconjunctivitis although it is hard to say without an evaluation. Do you know what you are allergic to? It might be a good idea to find out. There are many pharmaceutical options for allergic rhinoconjunctivitis-but in order to recommend anything you would need an evaluation and a prescription. Unfortunately, the medications available over the counter can sometimes do more harm than good. A non pharmaceutical option is simply to wash the eyes with a saline rinse (several times a day) as this rinses away allergens. You can call our office for more information or go to www.brooklynallergydr.com which also has general information.
I hope this helps.
