How long does increased tearing associated with conjunctivitis last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: The eye secretes extra tears to flush out the products of the conjunctivitis. These may enter the nose and cause excess nasal secretion. The time of tear excess runs parallel with the course of the infection usually 3-8 days and varies also with the individual response.
