Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
The cough/runny nose/headache are likely due to viral cough and cold. This can last 7 to 10 days in most persons.
Treatment would mainly be rest, fluids and over the counter cough and cold meds.
The discharge in the eye may be due to viral or bacterial infection. If bacterial then antibiotics drops would be needed.
Your doctor would need to assess you.
I hope this helps
