                                            Also, my sinuses seem to hurt when I bend down to pick things up or tie my boots, as well as my upper row of teeth seem to be slightly throbbing as if I have a toothache coming on
Bacterial sinusitis likely;need antibiotics.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to HCM forum.
Thanks for posting to us.
I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concerns.
Your history is suggestive of bacterial sinusitis. This can cause secondary infection in eye via naso lacrimal duct, and referred pain in upper rows of teeth. The earache may be caused by referred pain or secondary eustachian tube dysfunction.
We can treat this condition with antibiotics like azithromycin or amoxicillin+clavulonate along with antihistamines/decongestants for a few days. Kindly see your doctor(preferably an ENT specialist) without any delay for starting treatment.
Meanwhile, start steam inhalation every 4 hours. Avoid exposure to cold/dust. Continue warm saline gargles. Avoid cold drinks. For headache/sinus heaviness, you can take simple analgesics like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query.
Be free to ask if you need further clarification.
Wishing for a faster cure.
Thank you.
