I am suffering from a cold and cough with itching in my eyes. What should I do to feel better?

A cold and cough with itchy eyes are commonly caused by an allergy or a viral infection affecting the respiratory tract and the eyes. Avoid exposure to dust, smoke, and other irritants, and keep your eyes clean without rubbing. Warm fluids, steam inhalation, and proper rest can help reduce symptoms. Consult a doctor if symptoms persist, worsen, or cause significant discomfort.
