What Does Pain In The Face And Jaw Indicate?

I ve been blowing thick yellow snot which has a terrible odor, pain in my face and chills. I vomit earlier today. Sometimes when I inhale through my nose it burns and my eye hurts. Left side of my face and jaw is painful. When it all started I thought it was just a cold but it s worse

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Although it started with cold but it looks like it has now progressed into Sinus Infection or Sinusitis..

I would suggest you to consult an Emergency room and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like PNS view x ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, decongestants like Pseudoephadrine, do saline nasal irrigation, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
You can also be advised decongestant nasal sprays containing Xylometazoline or Oxymetazoline..
Avoid spicy and chilled foods..
Do warm compresses around nostrils..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
Dr.Honey Arora.
