What Does Pressure Behind The Right Eye Indicate?
Hello. I have pressure behind my right eye, my ear feels like it’s “full” and makes a squeaky nose. I also have a tooth ache on that same side of my face. I’m just getting over a bad cold, possibly the flu. I’m up trying to get some relief however I don’t want to go to the ER at this time of night. An you help me?

Hello,
It is possible that your sinuses are inflamed and causing all of these symptoms.
I recommend you:
- Drink warm fluids
- Steam inhalations with 3-4 drops of eucalyptus oil or Vicks vapor rub (apply a little to the edge of the steam dish)
- Take Ibuprofen of Diclofenac for the inflammation. Twice a day after food for 2 days
These measures should help with the inflammation. If not, or if symptoms worsen, see your doctor or visit the Emergency Room (ER).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shuba Hariprasad
