" to relieve my itchy eyes i went to walmart and found some eye wash solution (not for contacts) and i wash my eyes out with that then put in eyedrops called Naphacon A. they work very well. i would reccommend trying those. also for congestion try sudafed nose spray! it works VERY well! good luck!

PS have you tried allergy shots? "
