Okay Doc I ended up getting the olapatine drops but they don't seem to be working my eyes haven't changed I been using the drops for about 3 days now. How long will it take to heal?

The least expensive and safe option for you at this time would be preservative free artificial tears (OTC) and cold compresses. This will provide temporary relief. Change your clothes from going outside to inside, wash your hands and shower regularly as this may decrease the allergen exposure. Best of luck to you.
