What Causes Cold And Watery Eyes?

Hello. I ve been dealing with head cold symptoms of late, but in this instance I have somewhat unusual tearing or water in my eyes--which need to be cleared out frequently during the day. Seems strange and unlike other colds I ve had. Any thoughts?

Hi,

As per your complain it seems that the symptoms symptoms of teary eyes, cold seems to be due to ALLERGIC RHINITIS and it can be due to causes like allergic reaction to irritants like pollen, animal danders, dust and mites and at times even certain trees and grasses. I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like allergic tests like Patch test, RAST test, food challenge test etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. The tests will help in ruling out the exact cause of the allergen and once you know the cause of the allergic reaction you can avid exposure to it to prevent allergy attack. You can also take anti allergics like Levocetrizine, Allegra etc along with steroid nasal sprays to relieve the symptoms. Do steam inhalations.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
