    Tracey sounds like a sinus infection to me. I think you should try and have the dr. Prescribe a round of Augmentin, an antibiotic used a lot for sinus infections.  I've had quite a few and this knocked them out.  Zap

      Hi Tracey we have 3 sets of sinuses - one set over eyebrows, I believe they're called ethmoid, another down the side of our nose, and the big ones In our cheeks.  I had a polyp in my left sinus in my cheek, it was sore.  So the answer to facial pain is yes.  Hope I'm right.  Let me know.  Zap

      Yeah, you could have polyps in your nose. There's some kind of infection going on.  Are you in the US?  If it's polyps, they could also be infected.  In that case, you might need to see an ENT dr.  You looked with a torch??  What's wrong with a flashlight?  We all do strange stuff when we're sick. I've. Peed in a cup to look at my urine and asked my friend to do the same so I could compare the color when I thought I had a Uti.  Also a bit mad lol. Good luck Zap
