What Causes Pain Above The Eyebrow Upon Coughing And Sneezing?

I am having severe pain above my left eyebrow anytime I cough, sneeze, bend over, and have dizziness at times. Its a sharp pain that came on all of a sudden. My doctor said its due to sinus infection and gave me an antibiotic and to rotate over the counter headache meds for a couple of weeks. The headache is not going away. I don t think the meds are working.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of pain above the eyebrow upon coughing and sneezing which seems to be due to sinus infection and persistence of upper respiratory tract infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply mist humidifiers in room. Take steam inhalation on daily basis. Stay away from dust and other allergens , take benadryl twice a day and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for headache . If condition doesn't get improve then consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with antiviral drugs in case the symptoms are due to viral infection. Avoid intake of cold carbonated beverages and outside food. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
