How Can Redness In The Eyes Be Treated?

I started with normal sinus drainage down my throat, pain in my sinus passages, and sore throat about a week ago and started taking otc sinus medicine. It got better and then 2 days ago one eye started to turn red and felt thick. I used some otc allergy drops and it started to discharge yellow mucus. Now it left that eye and moved to the other eye. I woke up last night with a cough and I started coughing up the same thick mucus. I started the sinus otc again and now I have a dry cough and am loosing my voice. Not sure if I should go to my pap or eye doctor...I have to fly out of town next week for a presentation and can t be sick or loose my voice.
