Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this recurrent sty infections. I believe the hurting of these head structures is no directly linked to an infection but probably a headache caused by this sty. If it were to be an infection, then it would not just be pain without other symptoms like fever, redness, warmth, etc. Also, this is too extensive to be possible explained by an infection that has spread across all of these various structures.
Recurrent sty needs to be addressed by a physician for proper treatment with antibiotics. Because you have as many as 6 stys in a month, I will suggest that you follow up with your doctor for this to be addressed accordingly.
For the pains that you have reported, pain medications like Ibuprofen and Tylenol should help relief the symptoms. Talk to your pharmacist to see if you are safe to take these medications and what dosages work for you.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
