What is a common management option for allergic conjunctivitis?

Topical NSAIDs, such as ketorolac, are often used in the management of allergic conjunctivitis because they help alleviate the symptoms caused by inflammation. Allergic conjunctivitis is characterized by redness, itching, and tearing of the eyes due to an allergic reaction, typically triggered by allergens like pollen or pet dander. By applying an NSAID topically, it directly targets the inflammation in the conjunctival tissue, providing symptomatic relief.

In addition to topical NSAIDs, other management strategies for allergic conjunctivitis often include the use of antihistamine eye drops or oral antihistamines, which specifically address the allergic response. While other options like oral antibiotics or antivirals may be relevant in different contexts, they do not specifically target allergic reactions and therefore are not appropriate for treating allergic conjunctivitis. Oral corticosteroids are generally reserved for more severe inflammatory conditions and are not routinely used for typical cases of allergic conjunctivitis unless there is significant involvement.
