Mri showed sinusitis in the ethmoid and mucus in the sphenoid my eye is in pain?

Sphenoid sinusitis: Bear in mind that MRI usually exagerrates the findings on the sinuses and we usually need to get a ct scan of the sinuses. However acute sinusitis involving the sphenoid can involve severe headache, eye pain and even changes in your vision. You should see an ENT doctor right away for treatment which can be either with antibiotics and/or surgery.

See an ENT doctor: And go quickly. If this is more than mucous in the sphenoid sinus it can easily extend from there into the brain and produce meningitis and even worse. Go and get seen.
