See your dentist: If you are still having problems with your sinuses it would be wise to see your provider. They will most likely place you on antibiotics to prevent any infection that is causing you discomfort. Best of luck!

Not related: Acute sinusitis is most often caused by the common cold. Viral sinusitis typically lasts for 7 to 10 days. If concerned, see your PCP for consultation.
