                                    Brief Answer:
Yes,
Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Welcome to XXXXXXX forum,
This could relieve your numbness and pain if it is associated with the sinus infection, please complete the course of antibiotics and analgesics prescribed to you.
If the symptoms persist or worsen even after that then i would suggest you to get an appointment fixed with the Dentist get the checkup done and take an x-ray. If this is tooth related has to be treated.
Hope you find this as helpful,
Regards,
Dr Qazi Ammara.
