Abscess in sinus cavity
Common Questions and Answers about Abscess in sinus cavity
abscess
My cheek and nostril swelled all the way to my eye. The fluid buildup had to go somewhere and finally went into the sinus cavity and eye duct. My nostril and eye leaked fluid, relieving the pressure and the abscess went down. In a way, you could say it was a combination tooth abscess/sinus infection since it affected both areas.
Along with warm warm salt water rinses, try placing a very warm, wet wash clothe over the cheek and nostril several times a day.
t been already - as we all know from inadvertently getting water up your nose or inhaling something, that the sinuses do drain down our throat, so if you have a sinus infection or abscess, it could be draining into your throat causing the horrid taste. It's possible that if this is the case, you notice it when you yawn because just the act of yawning stretches the mouth and can put pressure on the sinus area, therein possibly causing it to drain.
Are you running any fever? any chills?
About a week ago I started getting a toothache in my 2nd molar, upper right side. This particular tooth has had some problems (bad cavity, which was filled). Anyway, I went to the dentist and he said there was another cavity and he would fill it in a couple of weeks but there was a possibility it wouldn't work and the tooth would have to be extracted or i would need RCT.
Also my teeth roots are high into sinus or touching the floor to sinus. Both extractions 15 and 12 caused a hole in sinus. I never had gum books or gum infection. Facial pain is mostly left side. Sinus dr thought teeth and vice versa. So one day I hope to recover from all of this and I feel doomed right now. Lots of meds too so I feel doomed with that as well. I did so good for so long and then this just wrecked me.
I get cronic sinus infections and right now I currently have sinus pressure in the sinus area next to my right eye along the nose and below my right eye. I've had allergies pretty much the whole summer. Yesturday I noticed my eye socket felt werid when I would roll my eyes. It felt like the tissue or muscles that move my eye felt tight with some pressure. I went to the doctor and he looked at my eye and he said there was no noticeable inflamation and my eye appeared to be moving fine.
Hi, lump in the gums above and adjacent to the teeth most commonly can be tooth abscess or fistula opening due to infected tooth. You may just check out any frank cavity or food imapaction area in related teeth to the swelling. In such case you may need antibiotics and root canal treatment of the affected tooth with the help of a dentist. Other possibilties could be pyogenic granuloma, fibroma, periodontal abscess etc. Check out with local dentist to confirm.
Hi I was giving myself a rectal exam and I noticeda pea sized lump or hard mass deep in my anal cavity. I put my finger in about as far as I could as I curled my finger I felt something hard toward the top of the anal cavity. It didn't hurt or anything, I plan on seeing a doctor about this, but maybe someone can tell me if it sounds like anything you've heard of? It's kind of got me worried.
I have mod-advanced periodontal disease and developed a PA abscess and cyst in 7 months which caused severe pain and swelling that required extraction. How did it come about? Is it from dental decay combined with periodontal disease? It was tooth 26 with over 7 mm gum pocket and 50% mobility.. Just wondering if I could have saved it earlier with maybe a root canal?
Hope to hear from some expert.
It could be a lung abscess. I had something similar a few years back - was diagnosed with pnemonia, it seemed to clear up with antibiotics, but after a few months symptoms returned. The infections and bacteria that invade a cavity in the lung may need stronger or different types of drugs to fully eradicate. At least in my case, that was the case. Eventually the infection was cleared but the abscess left a cavity in my lung that has yet to close up.
Hello,
This persistent abscess that does not get cleared with antibiotics is called Parulis as this elevated nodule is actually an opening of fistulous tract from some chronic abscess either in association with tooth (periapical abscess) or gum abscess or could be sinus in your case.
As I can not do physical exam hence can not say for sure about the origin of the abscess. It needs x-ray and second opinion of a dentist who can examine.
I have a busted sinus cavity caused from being hit in the left side of the face. My left orbital bone was broken and the main nerve was damaged causing the left side of my face to be numb and my sinus cavity was busted I now have a horrible sinus infection and was wondering what that will cause since the left sinus cavity is busted?
For the past couple of days I've been getting a weird feeling on one of me teeth, i didn't mind it much because it had already been filled in and didn't think it possible to get another cavity. Well it hurts a lot now, going to the dentist tomorrow. My question is that with this cavity i have also seemed to have generated a small bump on the roof of my mouth, It bothers me when i poke it. I have no idea what it could be, i'm asking the dentist tomorrow. Any ideas?
2) Possibility of bite associated muscle pain syndrome, especially of a muscle that originates from the zygomatic process and arch (which is the area right below your eye an also the sinus area) In this particular muscle (masseter muscle) Trigger points in it can cause molar pain, maxillary sinus symptoms and aching in the jaw. It is common for masseter trigger points to cause these symptoms, but it is also common for master trigger points to be set up by these symptoms.
Someone from radiology went through my films and noticed an abcessed tooth on my left upper side! The abscess was pushing up into my sinus cavity. I made a dentist appt for the next day. That led me to an oral surgeon two days later and I had that tooth and two upper wisdom teeth removed~! The oral surgeon said he cleaned out the abcess and stitched it up, and put me on penicillin. So, here I am 4 days after the oral surgery and these headaches are still as prevalent as day one!
I went to my regular dentist on 1/13/06 and xrays showed a large abscess in tooth #10, as well as a smaller abscess in tooth #20. On 1/17/06 I had a RCT done on tooth #10, as well as an incision in the roof of my mouth behind that tooth to help extract the infection. On 1/19/06, I had a RCT done on tooth #20, with one 0.05mm post placed. I have been on Antibiotics since 1/13/06, taking Penicillin VK 500mg QID, so I'm now on my Eighth day of antibiotics.
When the did the surgery they found an abscess (cavity). I had them pull the molar, and they cleaned out the abscess. It is now March and my gum is still sore. Is this normal? I did have quite a few stitches in my mouth. Just wasn't sure if it should still be sore. I should say it is only sore when I touch up there.
I have 3 active abscesses in my "upper teeth or face" not sure. A CT found a cyst in my face/sinus cavity. The abscess's had my entire left side face swollen out like the elephant man. The pain was excruciating. The ENT said I needed to have sinus surgery to remove cyst. I chose to have that done immediately in office instead of waiting til morning to have done in hospital w/medications (Dr said procedure takes 10-15 min only) so I did it...2.5 HOURS later....
My other front tooth had a root canal before the crowns were done. 3 years or so ago. Had an abscess in there from a failed pulp cap. I let it go, only found the abscess on a dental xray, had no symptoms. Now out of the blue this tooth hurts a little when you tap on it. No other pain other than that. Tooth has a post. Both teeth showed clean on the x-rays taken 6-8 weeks ago.
I am afraid that I may have fractured it due to my tooth grinding.
I am going nuts over these two teeth.
The most frequent presenting symptoms are headache, drowsiness, confusion, seizures, hemiparesis or speech difficulties together with fever with a rapidly progressive course. The symptoms and findings depend largely on the specific location of the abscess in the brain.Endocarditis,frontal sinus defect,gram negative bacilli Brain Abscess Following Klebsiella pneumoniae Septicemia are some of the causes.
t need extracted and he referred me to an oral surgeon for a bone graft since the original dentist only shoved bone graft material in my left maxillary sinus. In June, I had the bone graft procedure and immediately started having problems. The day after the surgery, I had blood pouring out of my left nostril and developed and very nasty sinus infection. Antibiotics cleared up the infection but I continued to have pain and swelling.
Well if the tooth is breaking apart, it most likely has a cavity in it and its making the tooth weaker. That's usually due to the bacteria penetrating the enamel (the hard outside of the tooth) and getting into the softer layer underneath. Once its in the softer spot, it'll continue to get larger underneath the tooth. When the layer underneath is too weak, the tooth will crack and break apart like an egg.
