Can a sinus/ear infection cause eye pain with head pain in the back of the head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: A sinus infection can cause referred pain around the eyes. Pain in the back of the head may not be related to the sinus infection, but could be related to the ear infection. Probably best to see an ear, nose, and throat specialist.
