Weird eye thing

[mimi14]

I currently have Covid, I've blown my nose several times today and every time I do, my right eye kind of pops and explodes with tears , and now I'm really aching all around my eye.

What may or may not be relevant is that 20 years ago I had surgery on that eye to correct a squint.

Funnily enough I’m in the exact same position, even down to the squirt surgery. I don’t think it’s anything major…?

Probably the same reason your nose runs when you cry.

There is a little duct between the two. The drainage is normally eye to nose rather than vice versa though

I would try and avoid blowing your nose too hard, it would be better not to spread infection into the eye

It sounds like blocked/inflamed sinus's and I have heard that Omicron seems to be very sinus focused.

Try Sudafed if you don't have any contraindications with your general health/other meds. I find it's really good for reducing inflammation and nose blockage.

Thank you. I was thinking possibly sinus related. Will give Sudafed a try, thanks.
