Answered by Dr. Vasudha (5 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Pain indicates medical attention.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
-It can be chronic sinus infection...possibly following long-standing cold(viral or allergic) secondarily infected with bacterias.

Investigations i.e. CBC, an x-ray of the region (which would also exclude brain pathology following detailed physical examination by expert ENT doctor'

Specific management thereafter would help:

*Steam inhalation with cold medicine like Sinarest over the counter would have some relief at home before you see the expert.

-Another possibility is a refractory error..needs to be diagnosed and corrected with the consultation of an Ophthalmologist.

I hope that helps. Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks
