It's common to experience mild eye discomfort with a cold and cough, but it's important to monitor your symptoms closely. Mild pain in the eye could be due to irritation from nasal congestion or dryness, but if the pain worsens, vision changes occur, or you develop redness and discharge, you should see an eye specialist promptly.

For now, you can:

• Rest and stay hydrated.
• Use a clean, warm compress on the eye to relieve discomfort.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes.
• Use over-the-counter saline eye drops if your eyes feel dry or irritated.
• Manage your cold and cough symptoms with appropriate medications, but avoid self-medicating for the eye pain.

If the eye pain persists beyond a couple of days, worsens, or is accompanied by other symptoms like vision changes or severe redness, please consult an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) as soon as possible. Also, seeing a general physician or an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist for your cold and cough is advisable.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.Please tell me your age and gender.
