Hello. Went to the hospital Sunday for toothache pain.Was prescribed penicillin , took them and hours later (what I thought was sinus) drainage happened. Went back to the er and they told me it was bad sinus infection and to keep taking the penicillin. It s been 3 days now and I have bad head pain, nose pain and drainage which looks and smells alot like blood ... The entire right side of my face is numb. Im nauseated. Is this ok? I have never had a sinus infection before and don t know if any of this is normal. All I can do is sit and cry...
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor, The symptoms you present show the signs of severe sinus infection related to the infected underlying tooth or a periodontal abscess arising from decayed tooth. But exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and X-rays.I would suggest you to get an OPG radiograph done which will show the exact picture of the spread of infection and involvement of sinus.accordingly treatment can be carried out by a dentist. The abscess needs to be Chat Doctor. The infected tooth is treated by root canal treatment to save it permanently.I would suggest you to start with Augmenting 625 mg along with diclofenac serratiopeptdase tablets two times daily for 3 days till you see the dentist. This medication will definitely subside numbers and swelling. Get well soon, take care.
