My eye aches when I move it and i'm almost over the flu?
Okay so for 6 days (since friday) I've had congestion, cough, fever, you know all that good stuff that comes with the flu. Three days into it, however, my right eye started to ache when I move it the the sides, up, or down. Today I woke up and basically all my flu symptoms are practically gone except I still have that damn eye pain. I asked my doctor if I have a sinus infection but he said no. What is this eye pain from? If it matters, my right nostril is really the only one that's congested. (It's my right eye that aches, once again.)

If you're still congested, then it's the pressure from the fluid in your sinuses. You don't necessarily have to have a sinus infection to have eye pain. Pressure can and does cause eye pain. If you take a decongestant it will dry up the fluid and relieve the pain. You don't have to be stuffed up to have congestion. You can sometimes breathe freely and still have fluid in your sinuses.

I had the flu a few weeks back.
My doctor told me that the eye pain lasts for a few days, even if your flu symptoms are gone.
He explained why but I forgot :P
So yeah, I had the same problem.
Just don't strain your eyes too much for a couple of days and they will be fine :)
If it lasts for more than 4 days, I suggest going back to your doctor.
Get better! :)
