Thanks for your query.
Common cough & cold symptoms normally last a week to 10 days.
Conjunctivitis is also very common association of common cold.
Can try T-minic syp in appropriate doses & gentamicin eye drops ,1 drop in each eye about 6 times a day. Please clean eyes with water & remove all eye discharge each time before putting eye drops.
If not better in 2-3 days consider visiting your GP.
Hope you find the information useful.
