Ever once in a whlie I notice underneath one of my eyes, usually the left, gets really itchy and irrated, and a small patch of skin underneath my eye gets swollen up. It happens for a day or so then goes away. The latest time this happened I noticed I was sneezing and coughing, and my throat was sore. Does this mean that this is just allergies? Is this common? My sister experiences the same thing almost at the same times as me, but I can't notice a pattern of when it occurs.

It can very well be an allergy. I have experienced hives in my lifetime and one of the things I get is a swollen, itchy eye. I need to take a couple different types of anti-histamines to control the hives, but once in a while I will wake up with a swollen eye that itches like crazy! However, I have to keep myself from rubbing it, because it only makes it all the worse; more itchy and more swollen. So I would recommend to you to try taking Benedryl and see if it helps the eye irritations and other symptoms you get from your allergies.
