Hi I have been experiencing bad facial pain since I had a root canal last year. The root canal has been checked by two dentists and cleared as ok. I have been diagnosed with recurring sinus infection and recently took 8 weeks of antibotics. Symptons improved but did not disappear. Awaiting ct scan but I have recently lost my father unexpectedly as had heart attack aged 57. Feeling poorly again and the symptons are getting worse. Not sure if this has been aggravated by the grief and stress. I am also experiencing prolonged breakthrough bleeding on ovranette pill. Went for smear test on Monday and this caused bleeding to start again which was heavy for three days and stopped and now restarted. Period not due for other two weeks. Take ibruprofen for sinus pain. Face has swollen again tonight which often occurs when tired but goes down. Very miserable at the moment and these health problems are making life even worse
Warm moist air may alleviate sinus congestion. A vaporizer or inhaling steam from a pan of boiling water (removed from heat) may also help. Warm compresses are useful to relieve pain in the nose and sinuses. Use of nasal Chat Doctor.  Antibiotics or oral steroids may also be used. Other Treatment Options Ad
