Have you been to an opthalmologist about your eye? I was having issue with watery eye until mine prescribed me Restasis and now it doesn’t water anymore (it was ‘chronic dry eye’ which the prescription healed). Such a relief!

I had a similar issue. More like a chronic flue. It was diagnosed as an allergy by the doctors, took a bunch of medicine, nothing helped. Started using supplements and vitamins and so far that's the only thing that helped me
