Well, generally speaking, an eye cold is a type of acute viral infection. For the symptoms, redness, itching eye and tearing eyes can be the common ones. Also, eye colds generally do not respond to antiviral drugs. That means when eye cold occurs, you may need to take some ways but to have a good rest and wait for the virus to run its course. Cold compress can relieve the symptom too. For example, you can put some cool tea bags, which contain a high concentration of the chemical epigallocatechin gallate. And they act as an anti-inflammatory agent. So that it can be effective. Anyway, you can have a try.
