Why My Left Eye Socket Is Painful?
my eye socket around my left eye is tender to touch and is slightly painful when i blink. I didn t get hit in the eye, nothing has even been near it. it just started with a headache on the side of my nose and i just dismissed it as sinus pressure. then i went to rub my eye and it hurt. could this be serious?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having pain and tenderness of the eye socket and eyelid.
This indicates inflammation of the glands ofthe lid.
The treatment is by use of aantibiotic eye drops or eye ointment and viral antiinflammatory drugs for pain relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
