Common Questions and Answers about Swollen eye sinusitis
swollen
Puffiness of one eye is usually due to a localized cause like infection, abrasion of cornea, foreign body in eye, maxillary sinusitis of same side, lacrimal gland infection, infection of hair follicle of the eye lid etc. Discuss these possibilities with your eye specialist.
Both eyes can become puffy in sinusitis, upper respiratory infection, conjunctivitis or due to fluid accumulation due to heart/liver/kidney problem.
Could this be due to my chronic sinusitis? I have had only minor symptoms of sinusitis, sometimes pain in the left temporal area or cheek. I have sticky postnasal drip when lying in bed. Very rarely I can get a small ball of yellow mucus from my sinus. The mucous membranes of the left sinus have been swollen for many years. I was waiting for a FESS oparation, byt the doctor decided not to do it because my symptoms are so minor. I have some immune deficiency and other diseases.
If the symptons are swollen area from top of eyebrow into and beyond the hairline and is about 2 inches wide and when you touch it it sinks in what would that be? For example its similar to swollen ankles of a women during pregnancy. When you put your finger on them then it stays imprinted. But not no where as bad as ankles would be but similar to. What kind of fluid would be retanded in the left temporial lobe and above the eye? All can I think of is it may be blood? What do you think?

V1 controls sensations and such in the upper portion of the head inclusing the EYE, V2 is from below the eye to the upper jaw and V3 is from the lower jaw and below. They all go from the back of the head to the mid line of the face. Often only one side is affected. It is also not uncommon for just one V distribution to be affected and not the other 2.
Since the siniuses are in the pathway of the V2, it is possible for the TN to trigger pain in that area.
Upper left molar #14 was extracted 8 months ago. Prior extraction was experiencing ache on left side of face especially cheek bone & around eye, slightly swollen. Asked for antibotics, he told me what I was experiencing had nothing to do with the tooth & seek medical doctor. Tooth did not come out in one piece. Ten days later went back to dentist as sharp piece of bone sticking out of extraction site. Dentist removed, said it was not uncommon & that everything looked fine.
The pain spreads down into my neck. My right eye has become red, watery, and puffy, my eyelid seems to droop. I have a cluster of three lymph nodes that are swollen in my neck just below my right ear. This has lasted about three weeks….In need of relief any idea what this may be???
I finally got rid of the infection but other factors remained such as facial swelling beneath the lower lid and orbital of the eye, and swelling of the upper cheek, Constant congestion and muccous, post nasal drip, and spacey off balanced overall feeling. I constantly have a swollen bag under my left eye and when pressed down feels full of mucous. My cheek feel hot and rubbery from the swelling.
As I was sweeping it I must have breathed some in. Since then this is two months I have had problem with swollen uvula in the throat, hoarsness and some wheezing on exhale, also swollen glands in the neck and burning pain in the neck area. I also have itchy forehead, with little rash. I am tired and worn out most of the time. Could this be some allergy or virus? I went to ENT today and he never said much, only that he wants me to have allergy tests done. It bothers me a lot lately!
Do you get blurry vision when this happens. This year has been horrible for my sinusitis and eye. My left eye hurts and feels like it will blow across the room. I have been to allergist, eye doc's and plenty of other doctors. Sometimes my eyes are sticky.
I can't help you but I have the same problem.
I also have the pain around the left eye, above it and below. The left side of my face is constantly swollen also, right under my eye. I totally know what you mean by having both thick mucous and also watery discharge. As far as I know the watery part is allergic rhinitis. I'm really not sure that the sinusitis is bacterial and I do wonder about the possibility of nasal polyps causing a sinus infection. I hope this does not become a chronic problem for you as it has for me.
left neck swollen cheek, swollen headaches and ear pain dizziness and fatigue.
Until now I still have discomfort behind my eyes at least in the evenings. Is this possibly a sign of ethmoid or sphenoid sinusitis? Can sinusitis cause swelling of ocular muscles or some other tssues behind eyes, and that is why I feel discomfort.? Eye movements are a little difficult, and objects close to my eyes when looking to a far distance cause discomfort. I also have some photofobia. Should I be worried about the eye symptoms?

For Thanks2
You should consult an eye specialist. I think you suffer from eye strain or Glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye). You should also get your eyes tested for refractive errors.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage for both of you. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
