A member asked:

I had a cold for 3 days, which is now in my left sinus. i woke up with a broken blood vessel in my left eye and redness.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not to worry: The broken blood vessel was probably caused by coughing or sneezing related to your cold. It will resolve over the next 7-10 days.
