Hello Dr. Bhatti, I have had a cold for the past week along with a sore throat. Quite recently my left ear has taken a toll on me since it has become slightly inflamed and has augmented my hearing. As a consequence to the ear drops I have taken the past two nights, I have awaken with crusty eyes (almost as if glued together) and today both of my eyes are red after washing the in the morning to eliminate the crust. If it helps I am fifteen years old and my personal suspicion of causes for these sicknesses may be my lack of sleep due to a demanding academic schedule or the spring season though I am not feeling the symptoms of allergies. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
