That could be a sign related to an upper respiratory tract/ocular infection/inflammation. Often eyes and nose are related and co-infected, as the naso lacrimal duct is a natural connection between the two. A check up would be needed to confirm this clinical suspicion and give appropriate treatment. Antibiotics are often needed in these cases.
