Hi,My wife had a wisdom/mouler tooth extracted from the left side upper jaw about 3 months ago. Since then she has experienced congested nose and throat. Phlegm runs down her throat and she needs to cough to clear it. Her nose will not clear problem with blowing. The phlegm is sometimes tinged with a light green colour. She complains about a foul odour in her mouth when she bend over. Additionally, there appears to be a fragment of tooth rising up from the extraction site. What is your opinion about these problems? Do you have any suggestions for treatment?
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Based upon the history posted here it appears that the two ailments like extraction of wisdom teeth and sinusitis are two different entity. Please understand that they are nowhere related. Extraction of teeth cannot cause cough, cold like symptoms. In such a case please see your ENT specialist soon and get your self evaluated. It appears that it could be sinusitis of various degree. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
