I had upper left number 2 molar extracted two weeks ago. I put this off for so long because I am just such a mess with these things...had to take a Xanax before going in. All the OS said was that I had "long roots", never mentioned the possibility of a sinus communication or any symptoms to watch for or precautions to take. I had a prolonged terrible taste in my mouth and felt some off and on numbness/pressure in my cheek and up to my eye. Went in on day 6 for him to take a look and he said it was healing up fine. Asked about the pressure in my cheek/eye and asked if it could be my sinus and he said NO. Just sent me home. This was continuing so I called again, reluctantly prescribed amoxicillin for 7 days, still not mentioning sinus comm. Now I started noticing water would come into my nostril when rinsing or drinking so I went in again. This time he said that he looked at the x-ray and my roots (3 of them) went into my sinus! Now I'm on augmentin for 10 days and really no other instructions or cautions. Said it should fully close over in another 2 weeks or so. Is this true?? I don't know what to think because I can't believe that this wasn't told to me right up front!
Also about 4 days ago, I suddenly got the sensation that something was caught in my throat, right below the extraction site. I did ask about this and he blew this off as well. Could this be from the sinus drainage from my communication, just irritating my throat? Or could a bone spicule have possibly come out and either lodged in my throat or scratched it badly? Four days later and it still feels like something is in there. Please help...thanks!
