Watery eyes and ITP

Anyone have watery eyes? My 10 year old daughter with ITP has had watery eyes for a couple of weeks now. I tried giving an antihistermibe but it didn't seem to work. I don't know if it could be an autoimmune thing, but in the summer she had the same and we thought it was hayfever. However, one day in the summer the whites of her eyes swelled in huge bright yellow lumps so her pupil could hardly be seen. We went to hospital and was told it was an allergy, most likely hayfever. It's obviously not the right time of the year for hayfever now. Does anyone else get watery eyes too?

How odd, I just got a problem with my eye and was wondering if it's ITP related. It is called episcleritis, and it's autoimmune eye inflammation. Maybe that's something to ask doctors about, if it's not hayfever but episcleritis.

My 20month old son gets watery eyes. He constantly rubs his right eye and rubs his right cheek like he is in pain. Although I'm not sure if it's teething pain. He also rubs and touches the back of his head on the right side. I have mentioned this to the drs but they don't seem concerned.
