Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

Your symptoms could be related to a sinus infection. Other inflammatory disorder (temporal arteritis, cavernous sinus inflammation) can not be excluded either.
Do you have nasal congestion?
For this reason, I recommend consulting with your GP and performing a sinus X ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate).
In case of a sinus infection, a sinus discharge bacterial culture would help find the proper treatment based on the type of infectious agent.
If a sinus X ray study is excluded, I recommend performing a brain MRI or CT scan to exclude other brain lesions.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
