“Sinus pressure?”
I'm currently experiencing sharp pain/pressure behind my left eye. I tested positive for covid-19 a week ago. Debilitating pain that is keeping me from sleeping behind my left eye, near my nose. I'm currently taking Tylenol and Sudafed.

Take motrin or naprocen, anti-inflammatories.
Use an OTC nasal decongestant spray 2-3x/day for 3 days only.
Use flonase nasal spray every day for minimum of 2 weeks.

I suggest that you contact your PCP. You may be experiencing an issue with
your sinus....or even an issue with your eye pressure.
This should be evaluated.

While this may be sinus pressure, it certainly can be secondary to your Covid diagnosis itself. If the pain continues beyond 7-10 days please discuss this with your doctor as you may benefit from an antibiotic to treat a possible bacterial sinus infection.
