What Causes Pain From The Head To Travel To The Eyes?
The right side of my head is painful to touch, that is how this started. Then my right eyelid became sore to touch and swollen and then it traveled to my left eyelid, swollen, sore to touch and it also itches. This all started about 4 days ago. Should I be concerned?
