Is this just a cold?

I had this, I think it was just a cold, went after a week :) no medication needed either :L

Angelee is right, you should see a Doctor for proper diagnosis. However, at this time of year it may take some time to get an appointment.

The cold / flu symptoms, followed by the pain above the eyes - increasing when you look round indicates a possibility of sinusitis (however there are other possibilities).

Sinusitis recovery typically takes about 2 and a half weeks and around 60% of suffers recover naturally without seeking a Doctors advice for medication.

– Best wishes - Majikthise. However, particularly in children, there are some risks of complications if left untreated that could require referral to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist.

At age 15 I would advise you seek a Doctors appointment for treatment.

Have you been taking medication for it? If so and it hasnt been working maybe you need to try something else. I strongly suggest going to see a doctor so he can properly diagnose it. It sounds to me like a real bad cold, when i get them i just lay in bed all day, take cough meds & tylenol. I also drink a lot of orange juice and eat light things like crackers and chicken noodle soup. mine laasted about 2.5 days so i think you should go to a doctor so he can prescribe specific meds.
