What Causes Severe Pain In The Eyes Along With Dry Cough?
I cannot move my eyes side to side without severe pain, then developed a dry cough, then nasal drip along with severe joint pain. Have been running a fever of 102 on Friday to 100 this morning. Started getting a little dizzy this morning and the eyes are not a painful but still hurt.

Hello,
* Likely acute bacterial or viral infection involving upper respiratory tract.
* Primary relief with:
- gargles with salted lukewarm water added peppermint oil
- ice application over the eye
- rinsing of the eye with cold water every 4 hourly
- analgesic as Aleve 3 times a day after meals
- consult your doc for a prescription of antibiotic eye drops, oral antibiotics, decongestant for infection control.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
