Is there anything I can do to stop my eye streaming it is soooo painful :-(

[Blossomhill]

Had this dreaded viral/flu type thing off and on for 6 weeks and now have it back again. Apart from feeling dreadful one of my eyes is streaming so much that I can hardly see and it is swollen and stopping me from sleeping. I have all the usual over the counter stuff but is there anything else I can actually do? I am so fed up to be honest and have everything to do for kids going back to school :-( thanks x

Oh BH that sounds awful.

Am wondering wether taking something that normally dries up a runny nose would help. Maybe totally talking out of my backside there but it is worth a shot i suppose.

Have you seen a gp ?

Aww thanks IB. I have taken contact and lemsips and even night nurse and they haven't helped. I think I am going to have to as it doesn't seem to be shifting. I am typing this with the useof 1 eye!!!!
