8. Eye Pain and Sensitivity to Light
People with influenza B may develop eye pain or sensitivity to light. This may be accompanied by a headache. Inflammation and swelling of the mucus membranes in the nasal and sinus cavities can cause pressure in the head and eyes, resulting in these symptoms.
Keep lighting in the room low to help reduce eye discomfort. If eye pain and sensitivity to light persist after other symptoms abate, it may be a sign that a sinus infection has developed, and you need to seek medical advice.7National Headache Foundation. ‘What Your Flu Headache Is Telling You.’ National Headache Foundation, 3 Aug. 2018, headaches.org/2018/02/26/flu-headache-telling/.
