Sinus Medication Solution

Question by Emily S: Abcess tooth…its my insicor and the swelling is in my sinus..?
I have taken 3 augmentin so far and napped with a teabag on my gum, the throbbing is bearable (not too bad) i am also taking motrin for the pain…does anyone know of ANY home remedies that will get the swelling down until i can get to the dentist on Monday? Like i said, the only thing i have tried so far is the tea bag and it doesn’t seem to have helped…THANK YOU in advance!!

If you are swelling that means the infection is getting worse. If you’re on an antibiotic it should start to work, but if the swelling doesnt start to go down or if it gets worse, you need to get to a dentist immediately. If your dentist won’t see you for an emergency weekend visit, look in the phone book for someone who will, usually it will say “24 hour emergencies” or something like that under the dentist section. The infection could quickly become very serious.

my 16 year old daughter has a severe sinus infection that is causing swelling in her face (esp. eyes&nose) and her gums which is also causing extreme pain to her teeth. so far nothing is helping. Any advice or maybe home remedies, or what to tell the doctor to test her for? we are desperate!

I’ve been using restasis for around 2 years with great relief from my “dry eye syndrome”. But, around the last year or so, my sinuses have become incredibly swollen with no other explanation. I’m currently on nasonex to combat the swelling with no results. Has anyone had a similar side effect?
