Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

This may be a symptoms of sinus infection but it should be confirmed by the physical examination and the X ray PNS, which will helps to make the proper diagnosis.

The clinical examination helps to know presence of sinus infection, patient with sinusitis may have light pain behind the eye, headache and other constitutional symptoms.

The symptoms may come down with steam inhalation, antihistamines and a course of antibiotics will help to control the symptoms and improve the condition.
Thank you.
