All smart people... can you help me with a health question?

Question

I am just getting over a sinus infection/cold and my eyes HURT. What could be causing this? They feel like the muscles in them are hurting when I move my eyes. Can you smart people help me?

Answer 1

go to doc

Answer 2

You have fever.

Answer 3

You have sinuses right below, above and slightly behind. Its probably your ethmoid sinus (the one slightly behind) is a bit inflamed.

You can take some advil and paracetamol for the pain and to reduce inflammation (swelling). If it last for more than a week you may need antibiotics.

Pain, redness, selling and warmth indicate an infection and most of the times no treatment is necessary. But see a doctor if you are really bothered by it. But water, rest vitamin C, echinacea (a natural immune booster) should be enough!

Good Luck,

Answer 6

well i wouldnt call myself a "smart person" but this has happened to me many many MANY times.

Its just your sinus' acting up. Normally your eyes will hurt every time your getting over a cold or getting ready to get a cold.

Mine hurt whenever i looked to the side, up or down.

If it doent go away within a week go to the doctors, but if it does dont worry about it, because it really just may be your sinuses acting up.

hope i helped.

Answer 7

that happened to me with one eye, but not after a sinus infection/cold. Your problem might be a sinus inflammation. check with your doctor first. Mine in-fact was an inflammation of the optic nerve after an MRI result. You must see an ophthalmologist first before a neurologist if it is not a sinus inflammation. Good luck hope all goes well.

Answer 8

The sinuses are basically holes in your head. When you get a sinus infection, the tissues which line the holes swell up. Also, the hole can fill with fluid. The fluid and the swollen tissues cause a sense of fulness.

This can create a really bad sinus headache. A mild sinus infection will clear up on it's own -- take some painkillers like aspirin, Aleve, advil, or Tylenol (whatever works for you). A more serious infection requires antibiotics from a doctor.

Good luck!
