I'm experiencing a burning feeling in my left nostril, and alongside it, there's a mild ache on the upper lid of my eye. There's also this pain around my left eyebrow that's been nagging me. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of sinusitis, which is inflammation of the sinuses. The burning sensation in your left nostril, mild ache on the upper lid of your eye, and pain in your left eyebrow are all common symptoms of sinusitis. I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) 30mg every 4-6 hours as needed for nasal congestion. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a saline nasal spray to help with congestion. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
