Itching all around eyes are OK. Antihistamines don't help. Do I see an ophthalmologist or family doctor?

I have bad allergies and one year I got something on my face that eventually got into my eyes. I was rubbing and rubbing and it just kept getting worse until a week later the top of my face was swollen to the point my eyes were almost closed.

I went to the emergency room at that point, but the treatment was a Benadryl IV followed by 10 days of prednisone.

Really, the Benadryl IV seemed to take care of things right away and the prednisone was just a precaution, I think.

Anyway, if you have allergies and suspect this is an allergy thing, your family doctor should be able to hook you up.
