i have he flu and my eyes feel weird in the morning. please read.?

i have the flu for like a week and a half now. finally i'm starting to breath again, since my nose was stuffed. i'm now caughing and sometimes pleghms come out, which is nasty and i have to throw up. i feel terrible, cause my chest hurts of caughing too much. 2 days ago i notice my left eye is closed full of dry stuff all around in the morning. so i have to take it off, so i can see. i think it's like mucus or some dry stuff. and through out the day it was so red. today i woke up and my other eye, the two eyes now where full of this junk stuff so i couldn't see. i was scared. i just removed it from the corners and top of eyelashes and washed my face. is this normal when you get sick or sinuses. i read awhile ago that eyes consist of oils, water and mucus. so can this be part of that since i'm sick. please help.

Update:

my question is has this happened o anyone else?. i'm kind of broke so i can't go to the doctor since the cheapest is like $100.00 or more. so i'm going to the pharmacy to get some medicine.

    the eye junk is pinkeye. i had it, but it didnt hurt.. i just got eye junk and my eye was red. you'll need eyedrops for that, daptomycin i think. as for the coughing, get some suppressants or some mucinex or something. especially if you havent been to the doctor yet.. GO!

    IF YOUR ALSO HAVING ALLERGIES THEN MAYBE BUT MOST LIKELY NO I THINK YOU NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL OR THE DOCTOR AT LEAST ITS BEEN LONG SINCE YOU'VE HAD THE FLU AND NOW IT SEEMS TO ME LIKE YOU HAVE AN EYE INFECTION THAT SPREAD TO YOUR OTHER EYE. I HAD AN EYE INFECTION VERY SIMILAR TO THAT ONCE AND IT SPREADED TO MY OTHER EYE AND IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FLU. GO CHECK YOURSELF AND STAY AWAY FROM OTHERS (SORRY BUT ITS TRUE) BOTH ARE CONTAGIOUS.

    Sounds like pink eye, go to the doctors.

    Both of my daughter's eyes did this when they had colds. There's nothing to be concerned about as long as the color is like normal eye crust.

    The same thing happened me. But only that was a year ago and it still hasn't healed.

    What exactly can we do?

    Why don't you tell this to your doctor instead of people on Yahoo! Answers.
