Hello
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your query in detail.

As per your symptoms, the possibility of acute suppurative bacterial infection of chest along with extension of infection into the lacrimal duct system.

The initial infection is of upper respiratory tract infection which has possibly spread up into rhe nasolacrimal duct and down into lower respiratory tract.

Possible staphylococcal infection would have resulted in greenish yellow pus.

At this point it's very important to start oral antibiotics Augmentin 625 mg for 5 days and simultaneously antibiotic eye drops of Sparfloxacin for 5 days.

This will effectively clear the infection and improve the overall well-being.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these pills to you.

Consultation with a chest physician and opthalmologist will be of great help.

Post your further questions if any.
Thank you.
