Hello,
Symptoms of blocked nose with pain and rears from the eyes are indicative of bacterial infection. The factors causing it may be sinus, stuffy nose, allergy, common cold, allergic rhinitis, etc. You are suggested to take non sedating antihistamines, one twice daily for five days. Decongestants are also helpful. You should use humidifiers, drain your sinuses, take steam inhalation twice daily. Take regular showers.
You are suggested to get clinically examined in the ER, get X-Ray PNS done to see if you have deviated nasal septum that causing sinusitis or any other pathological condition. If bacterial infection is detected, you will need a course of antibiotics (Doxycycline). Pain and excessive tearing causes blocked tear duct. You may apply Genticyn eye drop, 2-3 drops twice daily for 5-7 days. Stay away from air pollution, tobacco smoke, car exhaust, dust or pollen, fumes that may irritate nasal mucosa.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
