For the last two years, I have had issues with my sinus and runny nose. This was all while I had bad teeth in the back of my mouth where I have to blow my nose every day or cough with mucus coming out. My primary doctor said it could be just a viral or seasonal allergy every time I went to see her.
Last month, I had a bad abscess that swelled my side of the left jaw. So, I went to the emergency dental and I wasn't able to cooperate well with the tooth extraction with just a local anesthetic shot to numb because of pressure feeling that I can't take it.
They decided to cut my gum to install the drain tube in to let abscess to drain. Also, they put me on two antibiotics, one called metronidazole 500mg for 5 days, and one called amoxicillin 500mg for 10 days to where I take two of them together until they are empty.
They scheduled me an appointment to come back to get the drain tube removed and have a consultant with the oral surgeon. He said I'll need to have six teeth extracted (four wisdom and two molars) to where they are bad decay and cannot be saved. So, they scheduled me to come back to get my teeth extraction with sedation.
Last week on Monday morning, before I went to the dentist for tooth extraction with my first sedation, I had a runny nose and cough a bit to where I had to spit the mucus out until I arrived at the dentist. After the surgery was done, I didn't have any runny nose or needs to cough anymore. I haven't had any issues with this since the surgery. How weird.
I'm wondering if all the time I had that issues were because of the bad teeth decay I had in my back of the mouth may have had affected me to have sinus or runny nose often to deal with it?
It's so nice by not having to deal with it anymore.
