Sinus Infection Headache or Migraine after having 4 wisdom teeth removed

miareh · Guest

I got a sinus infection after I had 4 wisdom teeth pulled last Thurs. Now I am experiencing severe headache or migraine. I do not know which one. I feel a vein on the side of my head above & behind my ear that pulsates. I have never had a sinus problem before. I am currently taking purcoset &/or motrin for pain & amoxicillan for the infection. I am so uncomfortable & in pain! Any advice or experience?
Thank you,
RKN

I think u might have what is called a dry socket I had all 4 removed and I felt the same way painkillers didn't help I thought i was going to die call your dentist they can pack the sockets which really help if that is the problem.

My sinuses were a mess after my teeth were pulled. I also found out I needed glasses (i thought a lot of the headaches previously were due to the teeth--but no, i really needed glasses). Do you need your eyes checked? Also, Tylenol and Advil don't help sinus headaches, you need to take something that helps fight sinus problems, too.

Thanks
