I've had a minor sore throat for the last week or so. now my eyes are gooping up, a white discharge. what's going on?

Possible Pink Eye: Pink eye is usually a viral infection of the conjunctiva. Often times it can cause an upper respiratory infection as well. Since there is not a medicine to kill the virus, treatment is supportive - artificial tears, cool compresses. If the discharge turns yellow, or has a odor to it, that can mean bacterial infection, which requires antibiotic drops.
