Dear Sir/Madam,
I am 53 years old.
At the moment I again have pain in the area of my right cheek, a headache, pain when I bend forward, and also at night when I am lying down. It points to sinus inflammation. I have not had a cold, but I have a thick nasal discharge. My general practitioner prescribed Amoksiklav and Avamys spray; I rinse with Quixx spray.
I am worried about the cause of the illness because this happens to me repeatedly. During sports activities I sweat heavily, but only on my head, and after a few days pain appears in the gum, especially in the right upper tooth area. I have a bridge or crowned teeth; the second molar is separate and it is precisely this tooth that begins to hurt first. It has been treated several times, but the X-ray does not show a bad condition. I am worried because after two days the gums of my other teeth also inevitably start to hurt (though less). Because of this I cannot afford more strenuous hill walking, running... because I keep getting these problems. In summer I have no problems, but when colder days arrive the same picture repeats itself.
I think I take sufficient care of hygiene because I devote time to it, and I do not have gum problems if I do not “exercise,” for example for three months.
My main question is whether it is possible that the problems are due to sensitivity of the teeth/gums, what should I do... What is the connection between the sinuses and the teeth, or are the sinuses or the teeth the cause?
Thank you for your answer and kind regards, Julka
