What Could Be The Cause For The Sharp Pain Behind The Eyes And Is This Related To Cold?
Hi I keep getting a sharp pain behind both eyes when I cough hard. It literally lasts a second or 2 with no effects after that. I ve just recovered from a cold and a 24 hour sickness bug so could this have anything to do with it? The pains only started about 2 hours ago but I have never experienced them before so am quite worried!

Hello
It seems from the history that you had cough following it you are having sharp pain behind the eye.
This can be because of associated sinusitis. Sinusitis can lead to sharp pain behind and around the eyes.
The treatment is by treatment of the cold and associated sinusitis.
Hence I advice you to consult ENT doctor for examination and treatment depending on the type and severity of sinusitis.
Thank you
