Your symptoms could be due to sinus-related issues, such as sinus inflammation or infection, which can sometimes cause referred pain around the nose, ear, and side of the head. However, other causes like nerve irritation (trigeminal neuralgia) or ear-related issues can also present similarly.
Next Steps
Avoid pressing the area for now.
• Use steam inhalation and stay well hydrated.
• If you develop severe headache, dizziness, fever, nasal discharge, swelling, hearing loss, or worsening pain, see an ENT specialist immediately.
• If the pain persists beyond a few days despite home care, a proper ENT or neuro evaluation is recommended.
