A member asked:
I get sinus pain with shooting pains in my ear, often is accompanied by mouth sores and/or tooth pain. how are mouth sores and sinusitis related?

2 separate problems: 1. A sinus infection or inflammation can cause a toothache, especially in the upper molars. These problems should be managed by your PCP or ENT. 2. Mouth sores (aphthous ulcers) are painful sores inside the mouth. The sore may be painful for three or four days, but complete healing usually takes ten to fifteen days. Canker sores may recur many times each year. No cure is available.
