Brief Answer:
Supportive care only
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Burning itchy eyes , sneezing , slight headache with recent history of bronchitis at the age of 84 is likely an upper airway infection and inflammation mostly viral and self resolving. If it bothers you then you may take some advil, some antihistamines and home remedies like warm beverages like green tea herbal tea mixed with honey and warm salt water gargles.
No worries this feeling will subside. If in case you start having a fever then get evaluated for bacterial infection and use of antibiotics.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
