Facial Pain

Facial pain is a common symptom that may originate from the nose and paranasal sinuses. It is often associated with sinus infection, nasal blockage, or inflammation. The pain may be felt over the forehead, cheeks, around the eyes, or between the eyebrows.

Dr. Sundar Dhungana provides detailed evaluation to identify the exact nasal or sinus cause of facial pain and offers evidence-based treatment to relieve discomfort and prevent recurrence.

Common Symptoms Associated with Nasal Facial Pain

You may have nose-related facial pain if you experience:

  • Pressure or heaviness over cheeks or forehead
  • Pain around or behind the eyes
  • Headache that worsens on bending forward
  • Nasal congestion or blockage
  • Thick nasal discharge
  • Reduced sense of smell
  • Post-nasal drip
  • Fever (in acute infection cases)

Persistent or recurrent facial pain should be evaluated by an ENT specialist.
