Hi XXXXXX,

Thanks for posting your query.

You are suffering from common cold in layman's language or Acute flu (viral) fever by Infleunza virus.

Any type of viral infection of upper respiratory tract may cause swelling of nasal mucosa with increased mucus formation. This causes running nose and and severe headache because of nasal involvement.

Involvement of eyes may cause itching in eyes.

You should consult with physician and take antihistaminics, antipyretics on written prescription.

Put your query if you have.

Take care,

Dr. Mayank Bhargava
