Can Pressure On Nose Be A Symptoms Of Sinus Infection Or Brain Tumor? Taking Caffeine And Advil

I ve been having pressure across my nose and around my right eye for a month. Very litle congrstion. Caffeine and Advil relieve most of it. Doctor says its NOT a brain tumor but rather a sinus infection. I m on antibiotics and feeling slightly better but still worried about a tumor in my head. Is that a possibility?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having chronic sinus infection giving rise to this problem.
As you are feeling well with antibiotic, it proves that you are having sinusitis.
For confirmation if you think can go for Para nasal sinuses x ray.
Ok and take care.
