Jaw/Sinus/Ear Pain
For a couple of months now, I have been experiencing pain/pressure on the right side of my face-sinus, ear, and back of my jaw-that would come and go. I also had a wisdom tooth that had recently cut through on that side so I figured that was the cause. I went to a dentist to see if she thought anything was wrong with my wisdom tooth, but she said that it was pericoronitis causing my pain. She gave me a referral to an oral surgeon anyways since it was so far back that it was difficult to clean. About 3 weeks ago I finally got my tooth removed. After about a week after everything felt fine! Then yesterday the pain came back. Mostly in my ear and sinus.
Should I go to a doctor or a dentist?

This is a difficult call. I would consult an ENT to rule out an adenoid disorder.
