What Could Cause Severe Pain In The Forehead While Traveling By Air?
I believe that I am suffering from aero-sinusitis when I was flying yesterday on our decent I experienced an excruciating pain in my forehead and above my left eye. It felt like I was being stabbed right in that area and I m still experiencing that pain off and on the day after flying. What can I do to relieve the pain and prevent it on future flights. Thank you, XXXX
