Pain In Nose, Redness, Swelling. Taken Augmentin. Watery Eyes, Clear Discharge

I have severe pain in nose shortly below eyebrows. Started 11 days ago and nose area got red and swelled up. Got augmentin from doc. Said sinuses. After a few days swelling\red went away. But now day 8 on augmentin and pain is getting worse still. Especially if you touch it. Keeping me up at night when pain meds wear off. Makes eyes water. Tons of clear mucus running out.

ENT Specialist,  's  Response
hello carissa
It could be because of frontal sinusitis...consult your doctor and you should be started on decongestant and steroid nasal sprays...if not possible then at home you can take steam inhalations and can start mucinac tab. and otrivin nasal drops for the time being so that the collected mucus in frontal sinus drains off.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

A tube connects the eye to the nose - Naso-Lacrimal duct - drains the tears...
See an Ophthalmologist or ENT surgeon ...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
