Could Watering Eyes And Spitting Up Mucus Be Related To Trichinosis?

A year ago I was diagnosed with Trichinosis..and treated with antibiotics. A couple months later I started spitting up excess amounts of mucus and my left eye would sporadically send tears down my face and drizzle in my nose. My doctor has ignored my symptoms. Now I read it is possible that even without sex after the treatment that I could have trich again...I ve searched for info as to how the eyes could be affected but to no avail. The symptoms I have..could they be related to trichonaisis ?
