Answer 1

Hi, I had my wisdom tooth removed a week ago and i now have a sore ear, throat, swollen glands and a horrible ulcer too. I'm on antibiotics and they are helping, but i'm also using Corsodyl mouthwash every 2 hours. It doesn't taste v nice but it really helps and might benefit your mother. I totally sympathise because it is absolute agony!! Hope she feels better soon

I'm really sorry, but the best thing to do - and the NECESSARY thing to do - is to get to a doctor. You should call tonight and see if they can possibly squeeze you in before they close, or otherwise go in the morning (before your exam if possible). If absolutely necessary, call NHS (if you're in the UK) or get to a clinic (US) tonight, if you can't get into a primary care physician. It sounds as though you have a throat infection - possibly strep or another bacterial infection, or possibly a virus. Only the doctor can swab for bacteria and run tests to rule out viral infection, so a visit is necessary. You'll also want to rule out mono, particularly if you have a fever as well. Even though you've had your tonsils out, you can still contract throat infections. It also sounds as though you have an ear infection, as evidenced by the pain you are feeling there. Tablets are not going to make this go away - ear infections that reach this level of pain need in-ear droplets to treat the underlying infection. Your doctor will need to write you a script for these meds, and possibly for the throat as well if it is a bacterial infection. As to your exam - I understand needing to do well, but you don't want your health to suffer. You really should see a doctor ASAP. If you absolutely cannot until after the exam, try throat-numbing spray like Cepacol, lozenges, and lots and lots of tea with lemon. You can also swallow a tablespoon of honey every hour or so, to lubricate the inflamed pharynx. Keep hydrated with lots of water - preferably lukewarm (the cold can exacerbate the irritation in the throat and ache the ears). Take Advil or Tylenol as needed for the pain and discomfort, and to control any fever you may have. And then, please, see your doctor!

Everyone has a sinus on each side of their nose called the maxillary sinus. Wherein, the roots of the upper back teeth go into the right and left maxillary sinuses. This can cause a problem during sinus season. If a sinus has an infection, it can fill up with fluid and cause the entire sinus lining to become inflamed. If encountered by patients they will feel pain in their upper back teeth along with a metallic taste in the mouth. Threatening a major dental problem if continuously endure.

Both of the maxillary sinuses drain into the nose. Nothing much really happens in the sinus except when the exit into the nose is blocked. Swelling in the nose can cause blockage of the sinus outlet and fluid builds up in the sinus. And when the sinus fills up with fluid, bacteria can grow in the fluid because the sinus is warm, dark, and moist. The problem started with the nose blocking up and this is usually caused by nasal and breathing allergies.

This concerns the dentists. Because continued nasal and sinus problems can lead to poor dental development. Wherein, if problems transpire longer can make doing orthodontics very difficult. It is necessary to consult dentist if symptoms persist. Regular check up will help you monitor your status about the disease.

But for the short term, a patient can spray their nose with sea salt spray. This moistens the nasal area and can loosen the snot blocking the sinus exit. Take hot showers and breathe in the hot spray to moisten your nose. Finally, fill up your tub and just let the water evaporate so that the air will stay moist. Lots of sinus problems happen when the heating or cooling systems dry out the air because this dries out your nose.

Caring for your nose and your teeth is the most helpful thing to do in order to prevent at least the effect and occurrence of a sinus infection. So if you are afraid to encounter such terrible sickness…love your whole body that is the least thing to do!

Poor thing, has her GP checked her mouth for thrush , older people are very susceptible to mouth infections.
Maybe she could have some Nystatin drops which would help and sooth her mouth, she would need a prescription for this. Take her back to the GP and ask him/her to investigate more. Its unfair to suffer with mouth pain.
Give her a hug from me.
