What Causes Red Eye, Swelling Under Eye And White Slimy Discharge?
Eye is red, seems a little swollen under the eye and has been producing a white slimy discharge that goes to the corner of my eye. A few days ago i noticed a weird cough n sore throat that hasnt got too bad ever bu def very notifceable. I would lose my voice just a little here n there n could spit up phlegm. That has been going on for a weel before my eye start acting up and is still present now. Any thoughts of what I should do?

it seems like a bacterial conjunctivitis, because of the type of dyscharge. try with local antibiotics for the eye or systemic antibiotics if your still have sore throat woth similar purulent discharge (azytromycin 500 1 cp a day for 3 days or 500 the first day and 250 mg for the next 4 days). if your partner has similar symptoms, check for penile/vaginal white discharge and, in case, treat him/her too
