Sinus Medication Solution

Question by : tooth pain when biting, on a tooth that had a crown about a year ago?
I have a tooth that had endodontal treatment (i.e. root canal) about a year/9months ago and a crown placed on it (upper left molar). Since then it’s been perfectly fine, however tonight I woke up and found that the tooth was painful when I bite on it. I tried pressing down on each tooth one by one and only the treated molar has this pain. It’s kind of dull, i.e. I can stand this pain, like a discomfort when I bite even when I clatter my teeth together there’s no *sharp* pain.

Before I had the root canal and crown, for years I used to get this symptom with the same tooth that often precedeed a cold, i.e. indicative of a sinus infection. Once I presented to a dentist with this issue and after a bit of poking around he told me it was sinusitis and gave me antibiotics. This led me to ignore this symptom for years, in fact it did used to be quite a good predictor of colds, I’d get the pain in the tooth then a cold would come.

Then last year the tooth developed an abscess on the gum, classic root canal stuff and I had to get the root canal and crown.

My sinus has been a little clogged in recent weeks but it has improved in the last week I don’t feel like I’m coming down with a cold. Plus it is only this one tooth. But it is exactly like the symptoms I used to have.

However now its worrying me that the root canal has failed, there is infection and I will lose the tooth after paying a fortune (cash) to get it treated.

Does anyone have any advice?

It sounds like the root canal treatment has failed. If it has, the length of time it is likely to have been present means that any infection will be seen on an x-ray, which means that you should see your dentist. Further treatment would be very difficult as the existing root filling would have to be removed (this is more difficult through an existing crown). And then it will have to be refilled. The success in this in molars is very low/poor. If it were mine, I’d have it out.

“I have had allergy tests and shots, cortisone nasal sprays, antihistamine samples including Claratin, Seldane, etc and nothing helps. My nose is plugged and I am miserable for weeks at a time. What can I do ?” This patient was diagnosed chronic sinusitis. After a 4 day treatment she is now 5 years clear of suffering and after several years and some extreme medical treatments that didn’t work she traveled half way across the country to see Dr.Lieurance, Cranial expert, for NCR or NeuroCranial Restructuring. Don’t have turbinate surgery or Somnoplasty or any intrusive treatment often prescribed by EENT’s and medical professionals. If your sinus’s are blocked you can enlarge them so you can breath easier and more openly. The removal of vital cilia and mucous membrane.The cilia wave back and forth, moving the mucous, and the pollen, germs, and irritants caught in it, around the sinuses until they are flushed out to the stomach via the back of the throat. This is the way your body prevents bacteria from entering the body while you are breathing through your nose; proper cilia action is essential for your health. Using nasal irrigation, Nasal irrigation is cleaning out your nose with a fluid. When you have a horrible head cold, or your nose is running with allergies, you’ve probably wished you could just flush your sinuses and nasal passages clean somehow. Well, doctors have done this for many years, it used to be called a “Proetz machine”, and it forced a solution of salty …

Hi my daughter posted earlier about her 4 year old sister having a sinus infection and how to help. She only got a few answers my daughter is taking the medicine from the doctor. I would like ways to help her feel more comfortable and recover faster like home remedies. You can answer mine but can you also answer my daughter’s whether or not you answer mine it can be the same answer. She is just trying to help her sister and i know she would like answers. Her question is “My 4 year old sister has a sinus infection. How to help?” Thanks
My daughter’s question is under the same username as mine.

I am “healthy,” 24 years old, and without health insurance…

I am tryin to figure out waht has been up with me.

EVERY day for about a month now I get a pretty annoying headache… around where my neck meets my hair line… the pain is mostly on the bottom of my head and my neck.

In addition to this (and this is what scares me most) I am lightheaded and borderline “dizzy” most of the day as well. It seems the only time I have relief I am asleep. Its almost as if my equilibrium is off. It appears to be particularly noticable when I’m driving, when my eyes are closed, or at night.

I have no idea what this is… I am going to an eye doctor Monday to see if maybe my RX is outdated… I am seeing a Chiro today… friends say maybe a sinus infection could do this… but I’m usually only stuffy when I wake up, and its been over 30 days.
I am not going to go to a DR. unless I absolutely have to; if that happens I’ll get insurance first… so they can cover MRI etc. Thoughts?

Took him to the doc. they say it just sinus drainage but he can’t go two minutes without a coughing fit. Does anyone know any way I can ease it so we can get some sleep tonight?
i’ve tried running my humidifier, heating water on the stove, sitting him in the bathroom while the hot water runs in the shower (steam) and baby vicks.
