Hi.
Nice to know that you have undergone a successful surgery for the septoplasty and sinus surgery.
The pain in the nose face and teeth on the same side , they must be - is usually due to trauma to the infraorbital nerve as it crosses the roof of the maxillary sinus.
This type of pain usually settles on its own and need take no treatment .
If the pain is unbearable you can request for the medicines like Gabapentin or so.
When the medicines too do not help, your Doctor may perform neurectomy.
