Brief Answer:
Sinusitis is possible.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you may need to see an ENT doctor.
I think this pain may be related to sinusitis, inflammation of the sinuses. I want to know some more details about it if your nose is blocked or if you have difficulty in breathing. Do you have nasal secretions or even fever.
Possibly antihistamines such benadryl or citerizine can help in this case. Also antibiotics may be needed.


I think you can resolve it in three weeks in order to get be before surgery.


Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
