This is what I have now. Hayfever. I have a congested nasal passageway and congested lacrimal glands, causing my eyes to be swelling red.
Yesterday I had slight fever and reddish eyes despite the decongestant that I took so I opted to bring my students to the 3rd floor for orientation and for them to finish their case presentation.
Today I hope my eyes will look better and the hayfever will be treated so we can work in IMCU.

@mlgen1037 thanks. hay fever or allergic rhinitis is seasonal. if it is the first days of summer, i will certainly have the symptoms; even during the cold climate, i can have the allergy.

@ridingbet For me it's a serious problem because I cannot take antihistamines.

yes hat fever is a=present when spring time comes or when the flowers start blooming. here, there are some pollens that are invisibly flying around; dust too make us have runny nose. my son is having sneezes so i told him to take antihistamines.

Oh, I almost had that last night. Thanks to the combination of tylenol, neozep and calamansi plus rest It could have gotten worst. Hope you get your rest and medication

@ridingbet true, the weather changes is the culprit. My son is now sneezing every morning and have a clogged nose. So I have to spray him avamys. And we all have to take cetirizine at bedtime.

So swelling red eyes is the effect of hay fever?

no, red and swelling eyes is a manifestation of allergic rhinitis or hay fever. this is also defined on Wikipedia dictionary.
"Allergic rhinitis, also known as hay fever, is a type of inflammation in the nose which occurs when the immune system overreacts to allergens in the air. Signs and symptoms include a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, red, itchy, and watery eyes, and swelling around the eyes."

@ridingbet I see. allergic rhinitis is more familiar to me. When I got cold I often have those signs and symptoms but never red and swelling eyes. thank you for this useful info

yes, ading. 'manang' is the Iloco term for 'big sister'.
'ading' is younger brother or sister.
