Crusty eyes when sick...Is this a normal?

I've got a mild case of sore throat and coughing. I've been taking over the counter stuff for it and everything was okay. However, this morning, I woke up and it hurt to open my eyes. I had crusty eye booger around my eyes and my eyeballs were red. After I washed up, my eyes didn't hurt anymore, but they were still red. Is this normal? Do I have an eye effection? Is this related to the coughing? Do I need to see a doctor or will it go away on its own?
Of course you should see your optometrist, but it may get better on its own. For sure do not use Visine, murine, clear eyes or anything else that says "get the red out." That will only make things worse.
