Have Cold And Fever. Greenish Stuff In Eye. Is It Normal?
I am currently sick right now with what I think is just a cold . I have the usual symptoms; a stuffy nose , coughing, sore throat , fever, headache ect. But this time when I sleep for a couple of hours, when I wake up my eyes have greenish goopy stuff in them almost like pink eye but I know I don t have that. I ve never had this happen before when I was sick. Is this normal?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having acute upper respiratory tract infrction with muco-purulant conjunctivitis.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor.
This will work for both the infection.
Take some decongestant tablet.
Put antibiotic eye drops every 2-3 hourly after cleaning eyes with cotton wet with warm water.
ok and take care.
