If it's just allergies and you're in the US, try this eyedrop: Pataday Extra Strength (generic olopatadine 0.7%). It is over the counter and you should be able to buy it pretty much anywhere (CVS, Walgreens, etc.) Use it once a day and you should see symptom relief in about two weeks, but you need to be consistent with it.

See a eye doctor for an Rx if you want faster relief with steroid drops, although keep in mind that those need to be dosed more frequently, usually about 4x a day. Also, as with any eye drop aside from those specially formulated for it, take contact lenses out before using.

Thank you for your advice! I'll see if she's used any of those before and if not we'll look at trying them out.
