Out of nowhere I just got a throbbing pain in my right eye socket (like where my lower eyelid is) it feels like I got punched in the eye! It hurts to the touch and It hurts to even blink. What is this? I have a tooth that needs to be taken out (left molar) as it has been causing a bit of a throat and sinus infection but could that be affecting my eye? Because the tooth is on the left side, and it s the right eye that hurts. It seriously feels like I got kicked in the eye.
