Pain in Sinus region
Dear Sir/Madam,
I experienced a sharp pain in my forehead (above the right eyebrow) while in a flight while it descended yesterday. A similar incident happened a month ago, again when I was on a flight, during its descending.
The pain usually goes away after I get down from flight, but this time around the pain has persisted, and I am experiencing it over my right eyebrow. It would be kind of you to guide me on the same.

Changes in environmental pressure can cause change in normal physiology of our sinuses and related structures. Sudden block in sinus opening because of pressure changes can cause pain in the sinus areas especially frontal sinus area in your case. Usually not much of treatment is required and over the counter analgesics are sufficient for pain
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
