Can Nose Piercing Cause Sinus?
since I've gotten my nose pierced, I've had re-ocurring sinus issues, most closely resembling sinusitis. Is this a coincidence or is it possible for the piercing to cause this issue? The pain in my upper teeth is unbearable. On a scale of 1-10, It's an 11.

Hello
It is unlikely that nose piercing will cause a sinus infection and you should meet your ent doctor to find out the cause for the sinus infection. the pain in the upper teeth can be due to the piercing and you can take tablet paracetamol 500 mg for the pain. please meet your doctor as soon as possible.
