I don't know.  Do your eyes hurt?  When you have a cold sometimes your entire head hurts.  Maybe allergies instead of cold.

Along with what the others said on sinuses and the like, I'd like to point out that often cold weather accompanies dry weather. (as there is less H2O in the air when it's cold because of less evaporation and so on)\n\nSo, that air low in humidity may "dryen" the inside of your nose, wich is meant to be humid, thus causing pain and maybe even bleeding. The same as your lips get cracky and dry in winter time. \nAlso, the blood vessels in our inner nose tissue are somehow fragile. Breathing really really cold air may "burn" them by the cold a little, and thus the pain.\n\nI'm not an expert tough, but maybe a good scarf could improve things up! :)\n\nIn any ways, good luck with your problem! ^_^

Some people have ear infections when it is cold weather with out noticing. But your ears are sensitive and the cold air that goes in freezes well makes your ear colder and because our ears are so sensitive the cold makes it fel like glass wich makes our ear ache even worse with lots of  noise around you ! hypercondriac another fact that causes your ear to ache when its cold is that you are just a  lol jokin hope this helped

I'm not sure you have a cold.  My daughter started out the same way and has been ill for the past 4 weeks.  The doctor told her she has a bacterial infection and put her on antibiotics.  She has been awfully weak, like you, had coughing spells, then she came down with the sniffles and ear infection.  I suggest you see a doctor and have him prescribe the proper medication.  You may need to give a blood sample to determine if it is a cold or an infection.  In either case, I hope you see a professional and get the help you need.  Get well soon!!!!

you can try some eye drops...it will sting when you first use it, but will offer relief.  also, just get a cool pack, or a cool wet rag and turn the lights off and put it on your eyes....just take a deep breath and relax.  soon you will fall asleep and you will feel better.  your eyes will be puffy in the morning...cool cucumbers will help reduce the puffiness...also try something like preperation H under your eyes to reduce puffiness.  Sorry to hear you're having problems....we all go through it!  Just try and remember that things will get better...just relax and take a deep breath and remember the good things in your life.

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.\n\nI have a HORRIBLE cold right now (why else would I be on this site?!) and I realized that this is the one time I feel like my body has control over me, not the other way around. And it's probably because I wasn't taking good enough care of it to keep it going like I was!\n\nThe two most important things you can do are (1) SLEEP, and (2) DRINK...a LOT. I mean like there will be no water tomorrow. If you're like me, you probably get a fourth of what you're supposed to each day. Which means now is the time to make up, because your body is punishing you. :-)\n\nAside from that, take vitamins (that, again, you should be taking every day). Boost up your immune system with things like Vitamin C (OJ!), Zinc, and Selenium. Go with the Nature's Way echinacea if you would like, but make sure to give your doctor's recommendation dibs.\n\nAlso, stay away from work, school, or other places where you might spread your ickyness. Not for too long, but remember there are other people out there (people with kids!) who will be very unhappy with you if you cramp their style by getting them sick.\n\nKeep the foods you eat pretty bland (is this the rationale behind chicken soup and crackers?) so that you don't put your digestive system through the ringer. The key is nice 'n easy.\n\nI am not sure of this, but I was always told to stay away from dairy products (milk, cheese, etc) as they contribute to the production of phlegm. I'm in the draining process now and don't need any more mucus, thank you.\n\nTake the time (when you're not sleeping) to catch up with movies, books, or online shopping (my personal favorite!) to keep yourself indoors. Try to keep your physical activity to a minimum, but depending on how severe your cold is, this might not be a problem. My body protests every time I try to climb a flight of stairs (and I live on the 3rd floor!) so taking it easy is not difficult for me.\n\nThis is just me, but I like to stay away from over-the-counter medication (unless I need it to sleep at night - NyQuil is my legal drug) because I think I can better gauge if I'm getting better without it.\n\nGood luck and feel better!

You really do need to get to a doctor. I have allergies that cause my eye problems, but if this just recently turned up you have a problem. Good Luck.

I had surgery on both eyes to correct my vision. The eye heals very very fast. I didn't feel anything during surgery and I was awake. What I felt after the surgery was not pain but, well you know when you poke yourself in the eye and can't open it and it gets all teary. Well that's what it felt like, but only for a day... I just kept my eyes closed and laughed alot cause I was walking around my house bumping into things.. Don't worry honey you will be ok. Good luck with the surgery.

The real concern with rubbing your eyes is getting germs in them.  You can get sick or eye infections that way.  If you need to rub them, use a clean tissue.

Usually when you have pink eye you have a LOT of goopy yucky stuff in your eyes...I would definitely go to the doctor though because pink eye is extrememly contagious.  If it's not that it's probably an eye infection of some sort...either way go to the doctor they'll give you drops to make your eye balls feel better.

If it is itchy I would say allergies.  This definitely is the time of year for that.  However if it just hurts then you might have an infection or pink eye. For allergies I take claritin and it works great without making you tired.  Hope this helps!

you could have pink eye which makes it itch and watery the best think to do till you get to a doctor is put a warm wash cloth on it  but get to the doctor now !!!

you could have conjunctivitis(pink eye). I would get it checked, conjunctivitis can become serious.\nI researched this on the web for myself. I actually have the plague. I wish I had conjunctivitis instead.

i would be the person to ask. i had it 4 times last summer. first, it feels like theres something in it, like sand or dirt. then it starts to water uncontrollably. then it gets red and it burns. light hurts it ALOT, umm... a cold or warm wash cloth helps. the only way to tell if it is pink eye is if when you go to sleep and wake up, you can hardly open your eye. it gets stuck closed. theres gooey stuff that comes out. if you have it, i recommend putting a towel on your pillow and changing the towel, wash EVERYTHING you touch, or you will get it multiple times like me. sheets, DONT USE MAKEUP OR CONTACTS, dont wear the same clothes twice, and ifyou use eye drops, dont use them ever again. believe me i am an expert at this.

You need to see your eye doctor immediately.  Stress will not cause sharp bursts of pain behind your eyes.  Be proactive about this - it's much better to be safe than sorry.

I agree with going to see a neurologist. You could be suffering from severe migraines which can cause everything you described. Even more rare is a condition known as "cluster headaches". Cluster headaches can be incapacitating anywhere from 4 hours to 4 months. Check out WebMd.com for more info on them. \n\nDo you where corrective lenses? Could be as simple as eye strain from a bad prescription. Wouldn't hurt to see an eye doctor as well.\n\nAs for your immediate pain, try to sleep on you side or your back with a supportive pillow. Don't use the memory foam type as they do not recover fast enough to support your head, neck and shoulders. Put a pillow between your legs if you sleep on your side. It helps to align the spine and give you more support. Try ice packs and heat packs. Alternate icing for 20 mins and then heat, then ice again. \n\nYou can also try some light isotonic stretching exercises for your arms, back and neck right before bed to help relax the muscles.\n\nI'm sorry you feel rotten. I hope you feel better soon. I also hope that a good doc will take the time to listen to you.
