Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query intermittent pain above right eyebrow and sore left cheek is due to chronic sinusitis i.e long term infection of sinuses and it could be due to facial nerve impingement in that area. There might be having inflamed exudate collected in sinuses. Need not to worry about it. Visit Oral surgeon once an get it examined. Go for CT scan of sinuses to find out exact cause. If it is due to nerve entrapment or impingement go for mouth stretching exercises. Take painkiller such as Ibuprofen for immediate relief. Avoid cold food and beverages. Take steam inhalation as well to get relieved.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
