Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that pain on the cheek bone just above the gum with constant headache and eye ache and loss of sense of smell might be due to inflammation of sinus over the left side leading to Sinusitis as the location of pain as well as loss of smell can be caused by Sinus congestion and infection..

It can however be secondary to deep infection in tooth in upper jaw..

Nothing to worry, consult an Otorhinolaryngologist and get evaluated and in case if Sinusitis is suspected he can advise you to get a PNS view x ray or a MRI scan of the sinuses done to rule out the exact cause of pain and treatment can be planned accordingly..

As of now you can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen for relief from pain..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
