Shit shit shit what the hell?

Gah, I've been sick for like 3 weeks now... I had another relapse a few days ago and seem a bit feverish. I just woke up from a nap today and one of my eyes was painful when I touched it. When I got up to look at it it was a bit red and there was lots of discharge in it, and not just where it usually emits discharge but on the other side too, and sort of lining the bottom of my eye. I picked it out but it's coming back a little bit and still hurts and is red. My vision is also slightly blurry from that eye.

I also have a slight cough and a little bit of an aching throat if that has anything to do with it. Does anyone have any ideas of what it could be? I'm scared of it becoming worse. Oh, and this started only like an hour ago.

Eye irritation is common with allergies/hay fever (I get precisely what you're describing with your eye every single spring, including this one) and sometimes occurs with colds and the flu. Your other symptoms point toward a cold, and they can last for quite a long time. You could also have pink eye, which is annoying but, for the most part, harmless.

As long as you don't continually grow worse over a short period of time, it doesn't sound like you need any immediate medical attention so don't be too worried.

However, I'm no doctor, and I'm not qualified to diagnose you with anything, so if you feel bad enough, please seek medical attention.

I'm going to say that hayfever is the most likely cause. I get eye irritation and a bad throat when it's around this time of year.

The best thing to do would be to have a look for some hayfever medication in the supermarket and see if that helps. If it doesn't than I'd say go to the doctor and see what they think is the problem.

Take care
