Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Upper respiratory tract infection is usually associated with pain in throat especially while swallowing. It's nothing serious. The crusting in the eyes is likely to be due to mild infection of conjunctiva of the eye.
I would suggest you the following which will definitely help
1. Warm saline gargling : To a glass of lukewarm water add two spoon of common table salt. Gargle throat with it thrice a day. It will relieve throat congestion and provides the much needed relief.
2. Betadaine mouth gargling twice daily
3 . Syrup Ambrodil plus 6 ml thrice a day
4. Tab Azithromycin 500 mg once a day for 3 days
5. Decoction: to a cup of milk + 10 Tulsi leaves + 2 gms of fresh ginger + 2 black pepper + 1 spoon of turmeric + 2 spoon of sugar. Bring it to boil. Filter it and consume it hot thrice a day.
6. If you have fever and body ache you can take Tablet Combiflame
Do write to me directly if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care

Thank you very much for your advice Doctor you really gave me a relief on mind.. but hope you would have understood that I ment the crusting or Matter (yellow in colour) is only with one eye (left eye) because you have mentioned as eyes..
is there any eye drops I need to use..??
And how many days do I / can I expect these symptoms to remin with me as its been 3 days now.. but I have felt the swallowing part is now feeling much better as I did the warm gargle..
Thank you
