What Are The Medications For Pressure Pain Behind Eye And Pain On Forehead?
An MRI scan shows I have fluid in my left maxillary Antrum. I have extreme pressure pain behind my eye and constant pain on my forehead and brows. I don't have a blocked nose cough or anything else. I am in constant pain that I can't do anything. Please can you suggest something to help with the pain. Painkillers are not working and I am waiting for an ENT appointment.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pain behind the eye and forehead. Since MRI is showing fluid in left maxillary tantrum the probable diagnosis is sinusitis.
The treatment is by antibiotics decongestants and mucolytics along with antiinflammatory drugs.
The cases not responding to medical treatment may require surgery in the form of functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
Thank you
