shinusitis
i fell like someone shat in my nose. from the foul taste and smell its been going on for months. i am also getting as drip into my mouth . i had a wisdom tooth taken out upper same side a s the fould nostril. and was wondering if there is any connection?
Hi
I appreciate all the info on your site and would like to get your opinion.
Some time ago I had extensive dental implant work done. During the process my sinus floor was perforated- the implant failed and had to be removed along with surgery to clean up bone graft material. I ended up with a set of recurring infections that did not consistently respond to medication.
Recently, I was referred for a CT scan and it has been determined that it is now the maxillary sinus that is the problem. The structures all appear to be okay and the only symptoms I have had are some pain below the eye, fits of sneezing, and some breathing restrictions via the right nostril. The Scan shows total opacification and the ENT says the only option is FESS.
I have read in a few places that it is not advisable to do the sinus flush if you are pretty well blocked up.
In view of the fact that this is most likely a dental infection that leaked into my sinus or that the sinus is full of mucous and not able to drain, yet all structures are ok-could you see any other options for my scenario?
Thank you very much if you are able to respond to this concern.

An infection from a tooth extraction can go straight into your maxillary sinuses. Go to a doctor and get some antibiotics. If that doesn't work, cursor the blue "friggy" and get the instructions for the Sinus Flush on my journal. It is slightly risky--you have to bend over in the shower--but it will wash all the infected mucus out of your sinuses and restore them to normal function, and your body will get rid of any straggling germs.
