Nosebleed and sinus tenderness.
by Beabun, Sep 14, 2007 09:43AM
I have a sort spot above my right eye tooth and am wondering if it could be a problem with a sinus. It's sometimes bad enough to take ibuprofen which usually does not help. I've taken some OTC sinus meds but no help either. I saw my dentist and he said there is no problem with teeth. I also get several nosebleeds, only on the right side, which usually stop within 10 minutes. With the last nosebleed which was at a time of the pain as well, I did notice the pain was better after the right side of my nose bled. There is always soreness in that area, but sometimes gets more painful. Could this pain and nosebleed be related to sinuses. I had a CT scan of sinuses back in 2002 because of nosebleeds (didn't have the pain then), and it was normal. Any relation to hayfever (which I have), or weather, anything? Thank you.

The huge majority of nosebleeds are benign, and yours especially, with a history dating back to 2002. The nosebleed may or may not be related to your canine tooth. If your dentist did not x-ray this area, one cannot confidently assume that there is no problem with your teeth.
The persistent soreness most likely is a sign of a disease process in your teeth, the hard palate or the underlying sinus. You should have this sore spot evaluated by an ENT specialist and the evaluation should include a CT of your nose and sinuses. Persistent soreness, anywhere in the body should not be ignored or simply treated for pain relief.
