Can sinus and ulcer b the cause
Brief Answer:
Not due to a sinus infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Sinus infection cannot cause a tooth ache as a presenting symptom. The ulcer should be seen from outside in case there is any ulcer in the area. Do clean the area properly and closely examine for any ulcer. Taking vitamin B complex supplements and applying clove oil will also help.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
