Suggest Treatment For Periapical Abscess Resulting In Cheek Pain

default
Posted on Mon, 10 Jul 2017
Question: HI, I am wondering if I my have a virus in my right cheek area. It feels similar to sinus pressure and causing pain at the root of the molars making chewing difficult and fully opening the jaw. It even may be waking me at night...the pain. Pain began three or so days ago. I have irrigated nasal with saline with no change and to blow that side of my nose seems blocked with little discharge. No sneezing, just discomfort to eat. My wife experienced this a couple weeks ago, or something like it. Her dentist said it was not her tooth and not sure now if it is completely gone with her. I tried Sudaphed and had no relief for this although it does work for me with sinititus pressure. Appears only slightly swollen on my face to the touch. Any thoughts doc?
