Hi, About 4 years ago, I experienced the worst pain in the right side of my face (I was out of work for 3 days straight).  My cheek ached, but would also go kind of numb at times.  Every time I swallow, it feels like there is a tooth or something hard in my adenoids.  I have had so many tests done and the doctors all say "nothing is there".  I know there is though.  How can this sensation hang on for so long?  Is it possible that a wisdom tooth or something has grown towards my sinuses?
HiT hanks for writing in. It could be due to upper right wisdom teeth. You go for OPG to rule out the exact position of third molar. Take a course of analgesic & antibiotic for temporary relief. Also do warm saline rinses 3-4 times a day. Consult your dentist for further treatment plan. Regards
