Sinusitis is a possibility.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Sinusitis is a possible cause. If the pain aggravates on pressure applied over the particular point sinusitis will be the most possible diagnosis. However other causes like cluster headache or migraine can also cause similar symptoms.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
Do steam inhalation for symptomatic relief. Avoid sleep deprivation and smoking as it will worsen the symptoms.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Wishing all the best.
