Question 1

Accepted Answer

Possibly shingles.: If this developed over a short period of time and especially if you develop a skin rash, then shingles is a strong possibility.  This is the same virus that causes chicken pox and can sometimes be treated with anti viral medications to lessen symptoms.  You should see your medical doctor ASAP. If they are not available go to hospital Emergency room.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Teeth or Sinus: The symptoms that you describe could be caused from tooth problem or sinus inflammation/infection. The cause can be determined but it requires a dentist to evaluate you in person with the help of x-rays and a clinical exam along with a medical and dental history. We can't and shouldn't  explain over the internet how you self determine a differential diagnosis.

Rosacea: Rosacea often flares when something causes the blood vessels in the face to expand, which causes redness. Things that cause a flare-up are called triggers. Common triggers are exercise, sun and wind exposure, hot weather, stress, spicy foods, alcohol, and hot baths. Swings in temperature from hot to cold or cold to hot can also cause a flare-up of rosacea.
