What Causes Redness In Eyes Along With Running Nose And Cough?
What is the time frame from when I was probably exposed to the infection? I just noticed my left eye is red ...no pain just yet, but a little watery. During the last week, I noticed a hacking-type cough, runny nose and now I see the redness. I am concerned now because I have a patient I care for here at home has a compromised immune system?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If I am to be your physician, I will send you for a throat swab. I believe you have a viral infection being contacted by the immunocompromised patient. So at moment check out with a nearby hospital to carry out this test.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
