See your doctor...: Your symptoms warrant you seeing your doctor for an exam. They can determine the cause and outline a treatment plan for you if one is needed. The pain you are describing may be due to allergies or a sinus infection, but that can't be determined with any certainty without getting examined.

Sinus infection: Sounds like you might have a sinus problem. Pressure in the forehead (right or left) or in cheeks, that is worse when bending over, is often seen with sinus infection or congestion. There are other causes. If steam, fluids, blowing your nose helps the pain, then it is even more likely. Spicy tea, spicy foods, or just hot drinks & soups can help promote nasal drainage, too. If severe, to ER or MD
