Pain above the eyebrows can be due to various reasons such as tension headaches, sinusitis, or eye strain. To treat it, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a cold compress to the area can help reduce inflammation and pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question

I've been dealing with ocular myasthenia gravis since November 2016. I had a blood report and a CT scan in 2017, which were normal, but then another CT scan in 2018 showed some infection. A chest specialist suggested doing a FOB, and when I asked about how my ocular myasthenia could affect the FOB check-up, the doctor mentioned there's no connection. When I asked about possible infection in the thymus gland according to the CT scan, the doctor said there wasn't one. They mentioned these infections could be pneumonia and might be linked to the prednisolone tablets I'm taking, but these infections weren't there before. Can you guide me on if this is the right approach? An ophthalmologist gave me a Botox injection in my right upper eyelid in January 2017 without doing the ice pack test, Musk test, or diagnosing myasthenia gravis. What role does an FOB play in handling ocular myasthenia gravis?
