Q: Stabbing pain behind the right eye and flu symptoms. Is this something we should see a doctor about or part of having flu?
Hi, Katie,
Good question. Yes, you should see a doctor.
The pain behind the eye could be part of the flu, related to a headache disorder such as Migraine, or it could be something else entirely. The only way to know is to see a doctor.
I hope it turns out to "just" be part of the flu. Please let me know?
Teri
