The buildup of the mucus can cause feelings of intense pressure, which can contribute to throbbing aches in the head behind the eyes, around the face, and around the upper teeth. Head pain can also be caused by tiny infection-fighting molecules called cytokines, which the immune system releases to fight off the symptoms of the infection, but as a result, it can produce inflammation.
