Several possibles: You could have just a really nasty viral respiratory tract infection to the starts of a sinus infection to strep throat to influenza (although latter is fairly uncommon this time of year). It also sounds like you have conjunctivitis on top of it (the eye symptoms). If viral, these things will run their course in 5-7 days, and you do supportive care of symptoms. If strep or sinus, need antibiotics.

Hi my 3 year old has a very sore red throat. No cough or fever. We have been lockdown and dad and i went out shopping once a week. Sanitized and kept our distance. He does have a swollen eye but the gp said it might be an insect bite.

Last week the whole werk I had itchy eyes, runny nose and a cough. That is now gone but it's replaced by earache, stuffy nose and a slight cough due to dry throat. No fever however I developed a cold sore that's busy healing now. What could it be?
