What Causes Chronic Sore Throat And Crusty Mucus In Eyes?
Question: I have crusty mucous in my eyes in the morning when I wake and chronic sore throat. No bumps or puss pockets. Just red veins here and there. Saw an ENT, but no signs of anything. Any suggestions?
Brief Answer:
Suggestions and put eye drops
Detailed Answer:
HI, XXXX,
Read your problem in detail.
It seems that there might be having some irritation in eyes due to dust, constant eye work, eye strain leading to collection of some sticky material in eyes might be giving this problem in the morning.
Having red veins seen in the sclera might be due to irritation.
Nothing to worry. Clean the eyes with plane water with removal of crusty mucous.
Put Refresh eye drops or antibiotic eye drops 3-4 times a day for few days and you will be relieved of this problem. Discuss about this with your doctor.
Wear sun glasses goggles while going outside.
Do warm salt water gargles for having sore throat.
Before going to bed, clean your eyes with plane water.

My voice is very hoarse and has been sore and hurting for about two weeks now. I have been using a humidifier as well, but not much help. Any more suggestions for clearing sore throats? Or for preventing them in the future? I've had strep throat four times this year. Thanks.
