eye flu remedy - #14548

Yash

I am really worried about this thing going on with my eyes! Last week, I woke up with this strange burning feeling and they were super watery. Thought it was just allergies but then my friend mentioned it might be eye flu, and I got freaked out! I started researching eye flu remedy options but honestly, the info is so scattershot out there. One minute they say warm compresses help, and the next, they're talking about antihistamines?! My eyes got real puffy too, like I can barely open them without squinting. Haven’t had this before and it’s kinda distracting because I work all day on a computer. I tried some over-the-counter drops, but they only seem to help a little bit. Anyone have a solid eye flu remedy that worked for you? Like, what should I stay away from? Should I be doing anything differently? My family is like freaking out too, saying I should see a doctor but not sure if it’s necessary just yet. Honestly, feeling a bit overwhelmed here! Any advice on a straightforward eye flu remedy would be super helpful! Thanks a ton in advance!
