HELLO, I AM HAVING ALOT OF PAIN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE OVER TO LEFT EAR. I HAVE A TOOTH ABCESS ON THAT SIDE AND HAVE HAD FOR SOME TIME. I TRIED GARGLING WITH LISTERINE AND FOUND THE INSIDE OF LEFT CHEEK TO BE INFLAMED. BURNED LIKE FIRE. I THINK IS IN MY SINUSES BECAUSE MY NOSE IS DRIPPING LIKE A FAUCET AND SMELL LIKE SEWERAGE. SOME SWELLING NOTED. PAIN IS QUITE BAD.
Hi. Thanks for the query. Severe pain on left side of face along with nasal Chat Doctor. . So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination and investigation like x-ray, CBCT can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly. If it is due to sinus infection then a course of antibiotics like Augmenting, anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and decongestant nasal spray like Xylometazoline and saline nasal irrigation can help in relief. If it is secondary to tooth infection then root canal treatment of tooth or extraction can be done. For now take pain relievers and decongestant nasal sprays. Hope this helps. Regards.
