Well, here's my little ticket, but before current symptoms I'll give a quick recap of recent treatment.
Started about three weeks ago. I go into my dentist's office due to persistent pain across the right side of my mouth, or I should say the individual teeth therein. So he spots a sinus infection (and my first cavity; at least I got it later than my friends from school) in an x-ray, I go on antibiotics for 5 days and all was well starting two days after I finish taking them. Can't remember for the life of me which they were, not sure I recall tetracycline.
Starting a week after that, the sinus infection symptoms resurfaced, or perhaps began anew - I'm hearing this is a terrible year for allergies and sinuses. So I get the sore teeth again, usually one at a time and they vary by the hour. Ah, maxillary canal's a schrew...
But just yesterday I was out on a boat (I work at a campground on a lake) and within 15 minutes on water there was a show-stopping pain in my lower back molar. Seems like 2 or 3 minute intervals it would happen, and felt not unlike a small being was battering upward against it. I called my dentist upon reaching shore and moved up my appointment to tomorrow, as it was originally next week. They didn't seem to think it was an emergency, and sure enough that particular pain stopped occuring ten minutes later. I'd like to venture a guess that surrounding water (/evaporation) and changing barometric pressure didn't do my sinuses any good, though it still seems odd that a bottom tooth would have such pronounced pain when the infected canal is on the top.
So I just have to get through today before my appointment and I'll surely go back on antibiotics, as well as get my permanent filling for the cavity (possible culprit for new infection?). But so far I've been experiencing nausea as I eat or drink something, soon offset by a small belch, and the cycle repeats. Curious if my sinusitis could likely have started an infection in my gastrointestinal region (oh, I pray it's not gastroenteritis again). After all, isn't the stomach where the mucus takes in bacteria to be destroyed in the first place?
Bit of a scatterbrained post, I apologize, but such has been my head for the past couple days. Appreciate any thoughts on the matter.
