    Hi, thank you for your message. Based on what you’ve described, there are a few different possible causes and I would really need to examine your eye to give you a clearer answer.

    • Since you mentioned glaucoma, one possibility is raised eye pressure. This can cause eye pain, headache, and in some cases, nausea or vomiting.
    • Headache, however, is a very broad symptom. It could also be due to other causes such as raised brain pressure or even unrelated neurological issues.
    • Blisters on the temple and fever raise concern for shingles affecting the nerve around the eye (called Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus). This can also cause eye pain and redness, and if not treated early, may lead to complications.

    There are also other possible diagnoses we’d need to consider, especially since your symptoms involve multiple areas.
    I’d really advise that you see an ophthalmologist or go to a hospital for a proper eye examination and further work-up.
