With allergic conjunctivitis, most treatments will help clear your symptoms within a few days, but there are other things you can do at home to help your recovery, like:
- Boil some water and let it cool down before gently wiping your eyelashes to clean off crusts with a clean cotton wool pad (use one piece for each eye).
- Hold a cold flannel over your eyes for a few minutes to cool them down.
- Don’t wear contact lenses until your eyes are better. [1]
