“My son's eyes get itchy and puffy around dogs. What should I do?”
My son has an allergic reaction every time he is around dogs, and it causes his eyes to become red, puffy and itchy. What is the best way to help him cope with this allergy? I usually having him wash out any dog hair that may have gotten into his eyes with water.

Keep him away from dogs.
Wash hands if he touches the dog. If he gets swollen, use cool compresses. You might take him to an allergist to see if the allergy can be treated.
It is best to avoid allergens as much as possible. Over the counter zaditor eyedrops or prescription allergy eyedrops can help.
You have some choices:
-Keep away from dogs
-Over-the-counter allergy drops or tablets for his age

It seems that your son is allergic to dogs. Avoidance of dogs will help prevent symptoms. In the event your son cannot avoid being around dogs, he can try an over-the-counter antihistamine - either oral or eye drop or both. You can also have your son see an allergist you may be able to pinpoint the allergy and use allergy injections or oral treatment to
desensitize your son.
desensitize your son.
Keep away from dogs. Take an antihistamine if it is not avoidable.
Make an appointment with your Ophthalmologist.
