SINUSITIS?: Did you recently have sinusitis, runny nose, sore throat, earache, cold, flu etc? Need to be examined by an ENT doctor to rule out maxillary sinusitis. Any possibility of bug bite like spider?

Possible sty?: A sty (medical term: hordeolum) develops when an oil gland at the edge of an eyelid becomes infected. That could make your cheekbone hurt. Warm compresses for about 10 minutes at time can help. Have it evaluated if it is not improving or getting worse.
