Answered by Dr. Dadapeer K (1 hour later)

Brief Answer: This is because of reflex watering or infection. Detailed Answer: Hello Welcome to Health care magic I am Dr. Dadapeer K an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye. It seems from the history that you are having cold and sore throat with watering of the eyes. This indicates upper respiratory tract infection and watering is because of associated hyperemia resulting in reflex watering or because of infection of the eye in the form of acute conjunctivitis. The treatment is by use of antibiotic eye drops like ciprofloxacin eye drops. Along with this treatment of respiratory tract infection is required. This is by use of anti cold drugs and decongestant drugs. Hope I have answered your question and the information is helpful to you. Thank you
