I had this problem about 10 years ago.  The options i was given at the time was:\n\n1.  Drops to put in my eyes everyday.. everyday or the problem would come back.  It was just like a temporary fix.\n\n2. or have surgery.  I had the surgery and i am glad i did.\n\nI wish you the best of luck.  ~~~  Oh, and keep your hands away from your eyes, use a clean tissue, if not you could get it infected.

Musinex, works well.  You just need to remember to stay hydrated because it dries out all your mucus membranes.

Take benadryl by mouth and apply cortisone cream on affected areas... if really bad, can see doctor to get prescription for medrol or prednisone

Try hydrocortezone or an antihistamine like benadryl

Flush the eye with LOTS of clear water -- for at least 15 minutes -- then head to the hospital.\n\nOh, and kick that SOB in the crotch as you go by.

Ever tried ear candling (find them at the health food store)?  Sinus lavage (warm salt water through sinuses) and sinus massage (warm compress over face followed by rubbing over sinus passages)?  Drinking extra water and something like Mucinex to thin secretions (which helps prevent mucus from getting stuck and creating a ripe infection atmosphere)?\nI have terrible allergies and a tendancy towards sinus/throat/ear infections.  These things have helped me tremendously, along with taking claritan d and mucinex every day.

Use Tums, or drink a glass of milk.  Calcium is what is helping ease the pain.\n\nGo to the doctor soon.  Long term acid reflux can damage your internal parts and create life long problems.

super glue might do it,  i think the milk thing is for teeth.  but i would drive yourself to see a doctor.  if he is not in you can leave your eye there and see  him when he gets in.

,I had the same problem,it cleared up after a Sub Mucus Resection, but the headache after the operation was incredible,it went away a few hours later. As far as medications I don't know of any, there has to be something. Good luck.

Try sulphacetamide.  And I swear this works:  Put a few drops of breastmilk in the affected eye.

The best medication is usually and antihistamine.  Loratadine (Claritin, Alavert) is the only non-drowsy OTC antihsitamine.  Prescription antihistamines include Allegra (available as a generic) and Zyrtec.\nYou can also treat individual symptoms.  If your symptoms are primarily watery, itchy eyes, you can use an ocular antihistamine like Patanol.  If your primary symptom is nasal congestion, you can use a nasal corticosteroid like Flonase or Nasonex.

Try Claritin-D, the D stands for decongestant to get the stuffiness out.

Use this old Navy cure to stop the dry heaves,\n\nShake a Coke until it's flat and start sipping.  Must be Coke, not Pepsi.  Something about the syrup in Coke does the trick.

You could try the following:\n\n- A small amount of vaseline under your nose to catch pollen before it goes up your nose.\n-Sunglasses (wrap arounds definatley help)\n-Tunble dry your clothes (or at least dry them inside). If they are dried outside the become covered in pollen from trees and flowers etc.\n-Change your clothes as soon as you get in from work and have a shower as well.\n-Try to avoid going out in peak hayfever hours between 7-9 am and 5-7 pm.\n-Go to your doctor and see if they can provide an alternative.\n-Visit Holland and Barrett or other health store for a natural remedy.\n-I don't think there is a cure because when we suffer from hayfever our body is having an allergic reaction to pollen and thefore creates hestimines. If you can't take anti-hestimines then you may just have to work hard to minimise your exposure by doing what I've mentioned above.\n\n-Two more things - if you have sore eyes Boots do  some disposable eye cooling pads which can help.\n\n-Finally, and this may seem really obvious but I've mentioned it to poeple before who didn't know - Blow your nose rather than just sniffing all day because this helps to clear any pollen out of your nostrils and reduces the tickly sensation that you get in your nose that then leads to your eyes watering which you then rub and we all know how much of a bad idea that is for hayfever sufferers. \n\nSorry this isn't a cure but hopefully it will help.\n\nPete

when I was working with pottery a lot my tear ducts would often get infected or clogged.\nWhen mild it hurt when I blinked, felt bruised, tender around the lower eyelid where the tear duct is. When it was real bad it was red and sometimes swollen around the tear duct area.\n\ngenerally eye drops worked, but, it wasn't an immediate fix; took a few days to heal.\n\nIf this sounds the same:\nI would recomend washing your eye out with cool water.\nDo not rub!\nAnd, if after a day or two, it doesn't get better, go to the doc.\n\nRemember: this is your eye! Don't play around! If you are at all concern that it is something more than an infected tear duct, have it checked out.\nThe absolutely best thing you will ever hear from a doctor is "You wasting my time for this?"\n\nThe Chronicler
