Still have sinusitis: Some sinus infections are more difficult to treat than others. Many si's don't respond to anitbiotics because they are viral. The roots of your back teeth are embedded in the bone just underneath you maxilary sinuses and inflamation and pressure from the the sinus often effects your teeth. Sometimes, the bone in the floor of your sinuses swell causing one side of your bite to feel higher.

Sinusitis Still: Sinusitis needs multiple treatments simultaneously to treat it. You need to be on a better antibiotic for a longer period of time like Augmentin (amoxicillin and clavulanate) 875mg twice a day for 2 weeks. This antibiotic works great for the sinus. You need a decongestant like claritin-d 12 hours also twice a day for 2 weeks. Lastly, you need to do nasal saline rinses with a neti pot multiple times a day.

Other antibiotics?: How long have you been on treatment? If just a day or two then u may just need to be patient. Try nasal rinse with solution (neti pot). Also, clinda is very good but it does not do we'll with some of the bacteria causative of sinusitis. Check with your doctor to see if adding another antibiotic is advisable.

Tooth pain: It is not unusual to have tooth discomfort especially on your upper teeth during and after a sinus infection. The maxillary ( upper ) teeth roots are right up to the floor of the sinus. When the sinus is inflamed, the floor is tender thus when you bite down the pressure creates the discomfort.
