Tooth pain from acute sinusitus but no congestion
Could i have a sinus infection with no pressure no previous head cold but i just have a constant toothache on my right upper jaw. i had a cat scan done said chronic mucoperiosteal thickening in the right maxilary sinus with a small amount of fluid. I see an ENT tommorrow but i want relief from this tooth ache very soon. should i go to him or another endodontist?

It sounds like the CAT scan indicates there may be some inflammation in the sinus area. With some antibiotics, it should be able to clear up your sinus. If not, then you could rule out a sinus infection and look at the teeth again.

Well, methylprednisone is a steroid which can calm some inflammation down in the area. If your ENT says its not a sinus infection, I would look into it being a dental problem possibly.
Thank you , the ENT doctor now thinks it is my teeth so i will go to an oral surgen today. i am on methylpred for my sinus but it took away the tooth pain is that normal. Thank you
