I have a rear tooth with a hole in it which is suspected to have a root in the sinus cavity - it looks very clear to me on xray that it is definitely in there but my dentist said there is no way of knowing 100% until it comes to extraction although he thinks it is highly likely One of the roots is crooked and dentist is concerned the tip may break off during and extraction, so with that, along with the risk of sinus perforation, he has referred me to have the tooth removed surgically which will be several months before it is done due to waiting lists My question is this - i developed toothache in this tooth and earache about 10 weeks ago and at the same time started suffering with a great deal of heat in my cheeks and neck - no redness but so hot - temperature varies between 36.1 - 37.2 during the day I also developed post nasal drip and a yellow coating on my tongue but no facial pain or outer nasal congestion - i do sound nasal when i speak though so there may be deeper congestion My doctor thought it was sinusitis and i had several courses of antibiotics which got rid of toothache and earache but have been left with the hot face and neck - my eyes burn and i get itchy hives on my cheeks when i am hot - this is more common when i am indoors and/or in the afternoons Could the tooth be the problem - could it cause the heat in my face? Thanks
