What Causes Pain Above Right Eye While Suffering From Cold And Cough?
I have a headache pain above my right eye. I have had a cold and cough for about two weeks. Could this be sinus pressure? I don't feel congested any longer. Just coughing. Headache pain is not severe. I also hit my head (that side/twice) a few weeks ago. But I was fine after that.

Dear,
Your case suggest sinusitis persisiting after cold and cough. Even coughing persisit due to post nasal drip of sinusitis. My advise for you
Steam inhalation
anti- allergic/decongestant- over the counter- twice a day for 5 days
tablet. ibuprofen on need basis for headache
sinusitis usually go away in 2-3 weeks time. persistant sinusitis need antibiotic and further workup. wait for week to 10 days.
take care
