So I've been travelling a lot lately, and I went to China in mid-october. Where I started having horrible headaches, soon followed by my sinuses being sore and my nose being itchy, even though I didn't sneeze or have a clogged nose or anything. A week later, my upper eyelids started swelling and my eyes became incredibely irritated and there would be tears running down from the upper part of my eye and the tears burn a bit. I then left for Egypt, and now the eye symptoms have somewhat improved, but still continue.
Where in China were you as most cities have very polluted air. Or could all the MSG in food have been a factor.
Beijing.
When we were there around at this time of year the air was pretty bad and from the distance you could see a pall hanging over the city.
We just left in time as it was starting to snow heavily as we got to the airport.
It was like flying home in a sanitarium as so many people had been affected by the pollution and were coughing.
