It all started a couple days ago, I have a cold and I had an eye infection or so it seemed. My eye was sore and red and would sometimes get watery and then get all dry and crispy. That passed and now pretty much the whole left side of my face hurts, from my left temple to under my left eye or cheek area. I'm not sure if it's just part of a head cold or could it be something else? It is also very hard to sleep at night and Tylenol extra strength does not seem to help at all.

If it were only sore I would tell you what is below - It sounds like there is at least a cold or pink eye as well... Muscles get knots called trigger points. These make the muscles tight causing them to press on nerves and other thing.
Pain can be referred from places other than the head.
#1 The first thing is to take a couple swigs of molasses or eat a couple of bananas. They contain magnisium and potassium both of which muscles need.
#2 WATER she should be drinking 1/2 gallon minimum. The head of neurology at UCDavis likens a body running low on water to a car running low on oil (the engine can seize).
Get a good (deep tissue) massage (to loosen the trigger points) on the back, shoulders and neck. Make sure to press up at the base of the skull where it meets the spine.
You rub or lightly scratch everywhere on your head. You will hit spots that are tender these are trigger points. The idea is to rub across them 6-12 times per session up to six times per day until they go away.
For more information on trigger points read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.

You should take the best pain killer available in the market i.e. garlic. Eat atleast one big podful of garlic well cooked with other food everyday. By the time you would have taken 400 gms of garlic, your pain and all other side problems should vanish atleast by 80 percent.

If you suffer repeatedly from cough you better try to visit us. If it is acute problem do warm water fast for 3 days and get rid of cough first. If hungry you can take roasted/ steamed pulses like horsegram.
Acupuncture is the only solution for your pain if it doesn't disappear after fasting also.
