Eye doctor can check: Most adults have had Herpes1 that causes lip cold sores. It is hard to live a normal life if one tries to be clean enough not to catch oral herpes, because that would mean a very high level of "germ avoidance," which we now know can be detrimental to normal life. That said, symptoms the right or left face and eye could be herpes in the eye or facial shingles... should see an ophthalmologist today.

It is tender on the side of my head (temple) and feels like a sore vein. I've had anxiety and flu/cold/sinus the last few days. Could it be related to this or should I go see a doctor?
