What Causes Mucus In The Throat And Nose, Watery Left Eye And Chills?

I'm concern because I have a lot of mucus in my throat and nose. My left eye is also running tears. I take Zyrtec and sometime it help. Every now and then I get chills, I cover up and turn the heat up often. I thinking something is going around or do I have pneumonia? I haven't been to the doctor yet because I just had surgery. I have been sleeping a lot and just concerned!

Hello!
Related your concern I think thi is a viral situation (flu). Usually after a surgery immunity is weaker and susceptible of virosis. So, if you get chills you should see for the fever and the increase production of mucus in your throat and nose is the response to the virus. Usually if a person have pneumonia should have a high fever, a lot of cough with green sputum and chest pain but in your case for the moment you don't have mentioned it, so don't worry. What I suggest for you is to use ibuprofen if you have fever, decongestionnant solution, saline solution,steam therapy, control for a surgical site infection and if this situation last more than 4-5 days meet a doctor to see for a post viral complication.
I hope my answer help you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
