Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The infected tooth can be treated with RCT or extraction. The sinus infection can be a separate infection. Consult an endodontist and get the tooth treated. For the sinus infection you need to consult a ENT surgeon and get it treated.
If i am your treating doctor, I would havd prescribed amoxicillin 500mg TID and metronidazole 400mg BID rather than clinamycine(if you are not allergic).
After completing the course of antibiotics get the tooth and sinus treated.
I hope my answer will help you. Take care
