Question 1

lower jaw pain for 3 days, worse after lying down and feeling of fullness in ears. on day 6 of cefdinir for sinus infection. jaw really hurts!! help!

Accepted Answer

See your dentist/doctor: Can be just a different problem in your lower jaw that cefdinir won't help, good luck

Question 2

is it normal to have a lot jaw pain with sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

No: Pain is not normal.  It's a signal that something's wrong.  If your upper jaw hurts and you have a sinus infection, get the infection treated.  If pain does not go away you may also have an infected tooth problem, in which case see your Dentist.

Question 3

i have a sinus infection (viral, i think) and i am on antibotics. i have shooting teeth and jaw pain at random times. what can i do to relieve this pain?

Accepted Answer

Viral infection : You say you have a viral infection.  If this is a definite diagnosis, antibiotics will not help cure the infection. Visit your primary care physician or an ENT doctor for the sinus problem and visit your dentist to evaluate your intermittent teeth pain.

Question 4

can jaw pain, ear pain, and soreness behind ear/neck be caused by sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

Rarely: Unless the mastoid sinuses are infected, the pain is not expected to be in the areas. I suspect that you may have a jaw problem from teeth grinding. Consult your dentist.

Question 5

pain on left-side of face; cheeks, around the teeth down to lower jaw, head, ear. had teeth checked. could it be a sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

Sinus vs. teeth: If your dentist has ruled out dental causes for your symptoms, a sinus infection is quite possible . Of course, you need to have your physician examine you to be sure.

Question 6

clear mucus in left nostril, left side nose pressure and jaw pain, sometimes blood in mucus when blow nose to clear it, is this sinus infection . ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The described symptoms suggestive of sinusitis . Need to see your doctor to confirm and treat . Thank you

Question 7

head hurts like crazy when bent over, or laughing, etc. but it mostly hurts on lymph nodes of neck and lower jaw. sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist : Tender nodes suggest an infection, possibly of a lower tooth. Get it checked out.

Question 8

i have chronic sinusitis, sinus pain, face pain, teeth, gumand jaw pain and severe dry eyes, but my nasal passage is bone dry. suggestions for dryness?

Accepted Answer

Chronic Sinusitis: The answer is to manage your chronic sinusitis. If you are congested your mouth breathing will dry out the membranes. Check our website at www.Nwnasalsinus.Com for more information.

Question 9

could jaw muscle pain be a sinus infection?

Accepted Answer

Grinding: Jaw muscle pain is typically caused by clenching or grinding your teeth. Many of us do this and are not aware of it.    The pain would be in the temples, back of your jaw, and in front of your ear.
The sinuses are located  in the forehead, behind your cheekbones, between and around your eyes and sinus infection pain would be in these areas.
