Sinus pain?

I'm 27+4 and for the past week I've been having pain across my forehead/eyebrows/eyes and down the edges of my nose. I assumed it was my sinuses but the thing is I have no congestion or sore throat or anything, just the pain. Especially when breathing cold air. It's been bad enough that I feel like I can't open my eyes. Could it still be my sinuses without congestion? What can I do apart from take paracetamol? TIA

Ouch sinus pain is horrible! I get inflamed sinuses without any congestion! I use warm flannels on my face and a saline nasal wash - I do take sinutab but they may not be suitable for you whilst pregnant - oh and I steam as well - good luck

O I had this also was horrible
Midwife said was a built up of fluid on my face like you get in pregnancy on your hands and feet
I tried a steam that really helped and just had to go to bed hurt so bad!
Hope u feel better soon

Thank you, I guess it makes sense that it would be fluid build up. :)

I had this, I used a Saline spray or you can make your own. I also ate a hot curry which helped clear my sinuses a bit! And paracetamol.

Good luck!
