What Causes Swelling And Weird Feeling In Forehead?

Hi, I have a bit of swollen forehead and general awareness of my forehead area. I was working hard yesterday in our crawl space to deal with and clean up a water issue. I noticed that I was sneezing some in the evening but thought it may have been some dust, etc. I was not in the space for many hours, perhaps an hour total over the course of the day. It was the hottest day we ve had thus far in Raleigh, NC at 98 degrees. I have also been somewhat prone to dehydration over the years. I am 45 and am a professional engineer in the office most of the time. Should I just rest, get water? No significant pain just a full type feeling in the forehead area along with the visual. I m not sure if it feels warm but maybe a bit. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you.
