Well, his eyeballs themselves are not that red, just the skin around his eyes.

He gets bad allergies this time of year (when the tree pollen in our area starts). Last year we thought it might be redeye, but the doctor said no. Just allergies.

His eyes get really really itchy and they get red around the eye....on the skin around the eye.

His allergies are not systematic, though...he doesn't have any other symptoms of allergies...no coughing or throat problems or asthma....no sneezing...just itchy eyes.

benadryl makes him hyper and unable to sleep....

any suggestions or cures for this sort of thing? thank you

Red around the eyes? Make sure its not fungal!

Similasan is a brand of homeopathic eye drops, and one of their formulas is for itchy eyes, you might try that. They sell it in drug stores all over, even Walmart with the other drops, that's where you'll get the cheapest price.

For the redness on the skin, you can try natural vitamin E oil, just piercing a softgel and gently applying with a clean finger should do it. Coconut oil also, if it's not allowed to drip into the eye, just light coat on skin. Internal use of omega 3 or coconut oil will help moisten the skin from the inside out.

I had real good results using a homeopathic remedy for allergies. It has virtually no risk, and works real well, when it works.

It would help to know what he is reacting to, so the proper formulation can be used. In my case it was mold.

I'll look for those homeopath drops. I'm almost 100% positive its not fungus. it only happens in a brief short time right around now (same time it happened last year). We believe its from some sort of pollen that gets flung into the air around here...in Houston. Not sure what kind of pollen or what type of tree. I'll try and find out.

in the meantime, I'll look for those homeopath drops and put a little aloe vera or coconut oil around his eyes, and be sure not to get it into them. We have both.

thanks for the info.

I think Aloe would burn/sting the eye, wouldn't use that. Just the natural Vitamin E or EVCO.

try using chammomile tea..either by soaking cotton balls in the tea or making the tea with two tea bags, and then using the tea bags...ya'll can even drink the tea to help you get some rest!
