Have a cold stuffy nose and slight cough -now eye is running can you get a cold in your eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Conjunctivitis or "pink eye" as it is often called is most often caused by viruses. Very contagious and tends to spread to the other eye by self contamination. Limit your exposure to others and perform proper eyelid hygiene, ocular decongestants can ease the symptoms, artificial tears, and Acetaminophen for mild pain control. If worsens, particularly if your vision is affected, photophobic, see md.
