See your doctor: Orbital cellulitis is due to an infection in the tissues adjacent to and behind the eye. It can rapidly spread, locally, into the nose and into the brain. There is a high risk of vision loss. You should seek help immediately at an er or with your ophthalmologist (not an optometrist). Do not delay.
