Red Eye following cold
I was sick about 2 weeks ago and have residual mucous (coughing and stuffed nose) since then. I have just recently had a red eye that isn't itchy but is sore. This eye has been red for about a week and eye drops aren't fixing it. Should I be concerned and see an eye doctor or did my cold possibly pop a blood vessel in my eye?

The cold or a sneeze has possibly popped a blood vessel in your eye. Ignore it.. takes 15 days to subside at times.
