Sore eye socket and a high temperature?

[Ormirian]

DD is in bed with a temp of 102 and a headache. She's had calpol and the headache has eased a little. But now she has an ache in her eye socket - very sore. Is it just a form of headache or something else?

ANyone come across this?

Thanks pixie - SHe has a cold already, has had one for weeks. I guess it's just part of the temp thing. She seems a bit happier now - had a sleep which always helps

Maybe sinus.

I get pain all around my eyes, top of my nose and forehead with blocked sinuses.

I was going to say sinus infection too - I nearly always get this after a cold. If it continues you might need to go to GP for antibiotics, if it turns out to be a bacterial infection. Hope she feels better soon.

Yes it sounds like sinusitis

OK. Thankyou.

SHe's gone back to bed again - temperature flared up again. She must be ill - she asked me to cancel her riding lesson! I am not noramally good at the Flo Nightingale thing - I get impatient - but she is so sick I've been surpassing myself

I think we'll see how it goes tonight before calling GP. Poor little lass

BTW sinusitis sounds very likely now you mention it. Ouch!

can you get some olbas or something for her to inhale in some steam?

I have some Olbas, Good idea!

Nasal spray like otrivine or sinex also helps!

Ibuprofen also better than paracetetamol as it is also an anti-inflammatory so helps to open everything up.

It is agony when I have it and usually ends u with me on anti-bs.
