First post, so be gentle...

For the past 4-6 weeks, I have had excessive continuous tearing in my right eye, and sometimes in my left. My eyes are slightly itchy and red, and the corners of my eyes are raw from the continuous flow of tears. Initially, I thought this was an eye infection, but I have only had matter in my eyes once or twice in the 4-6 weeks. I also have allergies to just about everything (non-food), but it dosn't seem to get better or worse when I take medicine.

Then, 2-3 weeks ago, I started noticing that I had a continuous salty taste in my mouth - pretty much everything tastes like salt (it could've been there before, I just didn't notice it). I initially thought this was from an antibiotic I was taking (Doryx), but I stopped taking this and it didn't improve. I finally drew the connection between the tearing and the salty taste one day when my eyes weren't watering so bad, and I noticed that the salty taste was also not as noticeable.

So, I'm just wondering if this is something that I should see a doctor about? From my searches, it seems that I may have a clogged tear duct, but I don't have and swelling/lumps, etc. (just more than usual puffiness in the mornings). If it is a clogged tear duct, will this go away on it's own? Is there anything I can do on my own?

I am a 33 yo male. I do take some medications for chronic pain, allergies and stomach problems, but have not changed these medications recently and have not had problems in the past.

Thanks in advance!
