I have recently had a tooth taken out. Two weeks later I had to go back to my dentist as my gums were noticeably swollen. My dentist confirmed this and redressed the area and gave me antibiotics. But I have also been experiencing head pains especially when coughing and sometimes when bending forward. I have seen my doctor who did not seem to worried about this problem but I did not mention about the tooth extraction. I have also recently had a bad cough. I have put the coughing pains in my head down to straining my head muscles. But although I now only cough occasionally, my head still hurts when I cough. I would like to know if my head pains could be linked with the tooth extraction or can I put the pains down to all the coughing.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The headache what you are describing is a characteristic feature of the maxillary or frontal sinusitis. It is not related to the tooth extraction. The pain while bending forward will occur in sinusitis cases. Nothing to be panic, consult a ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Meanwhile, you can take the antibiotics and complete the course. You can do steam inhalation. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
