Eye allergy
I have been suffering eye allergy for the past 1year and 6 months. Sometimes there is sudden increase in itching and other times it is stable(bearable). I wanted to know if there is any pain killer for emergency times i.e to get short term relief for some hours.

Sounds like u have allergic conjujnctivitis. Applying ice pack over ur eye should give u some relief from itching. There is no pain killer available for this condition, but u can apply Mast cell stabilisers like olopatadine for around 2-3 months. Along with this u can use mild steriods like Loteprednol for short periods of time for relief. But these have to be used under the guidance of an eye doctor.
