I have developed a burning sensation in my right eye, it feels as if there is a grain of sand in it....I have had what I think is a head cold starting with a sore throat, then changing to a irritation cough,,,,also the right side of my face below the eye is red....Is there a connection? thanks, Daryl

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
I think that your symptoms are related to conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is inflammation of the outermost layer of the white part of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelid.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Apply a compress to your eyes.
-When cleaning your eye, wipe from the inside (next to the nose) toward the outside. Use a clean surface for each wipe so that drainage being cleaned away is not rubbed back across the eye.
-Use eyedrops.
-Stop wearing contact lenses.
-Avoid whatever causes your symptoms.
-Wash your clothes frequently.
-Bathe or shower before bedtime.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help, thanks!
