Is It Normal For The Gums To Hurt While Suffering From Allergic Rhinitis And Earache?

I have a severe sore throat, stuffy nose , pain in sinuses and pain in my ears. I think it might be seasonal allergies but what's odd is that my teeth and gums hurt...is that normal? I have taken several different kinds of allergy medication and nothing works. Thanks.

Hi,

Your symptoms are clearly pointing towards sinus infection or Sinusitis. Due to Sinusitis there can be a pain in upper teeth and gums on the affected side. So the pain in teeth and gums, if it is in upper teeth, then it can be due to sinus infection..

So my suggestion is to consult an otolaryngologists and get evaluated. A Sinus X-rays can be done for confirmation. If the sinus X-ray is confirmed, then a course of antibiotics like Augmentin can be advised along with anti inflammatory painkillers like Advil. Doing steam inhalations can help. Use saline nasal drops and use a humidifier in your room.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
