Well about a week ago, i got sick, i was tired all over and really stuffed up, then i got an earache. I'm finally over that and i have a new problem... My eyes are kinda puffy, and they were red. When i woke up the past few mornings, my eyes were stuck shut with eye gunk, and i had to use my fingers to open them up, then pull the stuff off. Anyone have any ideas whats wrong? I'm sick of being sick!

DEar hip as the mother of three grown children the oldest of seven children, and a first responder I can tell you with some certainty that what you have is one of three things your cold has moved into your eyes, you have pink eye or some other kind of eye infection or you are having an allergic reaction to something. I would go see your doctor immediatly before any permenant damage is done. Infections in the eye are nothing to mess with. Also for tonight to help sooth them rinse them well with warm clear water and use warm clean washcloths as compresses for the swelling. Wash your hands often and try not to touch your eyes anymore than you have too.
