The eyes have it

Itchiness, that is. Pollen is on the march. If OTC drops with pheniramine maleate and naphazoline hydrochloride make your eyes burn like crazy, you might do better with OTC drops containing ketotifen fumarate.

[I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on the Internets. Just offering a suggestion from my life with pollen.]

I would never ask a real doctor to "play doctor" in real life, either. I once asked physician, Henry, to watch my gait, and give medical opinion, "as a backup" as we were waiting for our toastmasters meeting to begin. I noticed a young lady observing and thought, "Oh-oh." So I told her, "Henry knows I have already asked my real doctor about this: I would never ask a doctor socially for medical advice.

Henry told the lady I was correct, adding, "For one thing, you can't take a case history" (socially)

I recall the episode of Frasier in which Duke's daughter seems to be dating Frasier for free psychiatric advice.
