Sinusitis: Pain in the face and eye with radiation in association with a sore throat are likely infectious in nature. Other symptoms of sinusitis include discolored nasal discharge, nasal congestion, upper dental pain, sinus pressure and fevers. I would suggest seeing your doctor for an exam and treatment recommendations.
