It started with an ache in my left eye only then it led to my nose running like a tap
Brief Answer:
Possible Diagnosis: Allergic or viral conjunctivitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for following up with these details,
Since your eye symptoms are associated with runny nose, it is more likely to be allergic or viral conjunctivitis. But allergic and viral conjunctivitis usually affect both eye rather than one eye and presents with associated redness, watering and itching.
It is difficult to pinpoint a definite diagnosis at this point without further examination of the eye.
I'd recommend you consult a primary care physician/Ophthalmologist for further evaluation and management.
Please feel free to ask any further concerns.
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
