Yes, I have sinusitis and the main sign is really bad gum pain. I have been prescribed a form of penicillin for it.
Chronic sinusitis
Most likely sinusitis..
Eye pain can be a symptom of allergies. Other causes of eye pain are sinusitis, scratches on the eye, or an infection.
Light sensitivity in sinusitis, also known as photophobia, can occur due to inflammation and irritation of the sinus cavities, which can affect surrounding nerves and tissues. This inflammation can lead to headaches and discomfort, making bright lights particularly painful or irritating. Additionally, sinus pressure and congestion may contribute to sensitivity to light as part of a broader response to pain. Overall, the combination of sinus-related pain and neural responses can result in light sensitivity during sinusitis episodes.
Decongestants, or the short-term use of decongestant nose sprays, can be useful. Acetaminophen and ibuprofen can decrease the pain and headache associated with sinusitis.
Yes, you still have gum pain if you get dentures. You can read more at www.eclipse.co.uk/moordent/newdentures.htm
In humans at least, maxillary sinusitis is not related to numbness of the upper teeth. In fact, it can actually be associated with a referred toothache due to irritation of the superior alveolar nerve. If you experience a numb tooth along with maxillary sinusitis, there is a good chance your sinusitis is secondary to the spread of infection from a necrosed tooth. (Dead tooth pulp is numb.)
No. If you're getting pain from chewing gum, it's probably worth having a dentist take a look and make sure nothing is wrong!
Treatment for sinusitis typically includes saline nasal irrigation to relieve congestion, decongestants to reduce swelling, and pain relievers for discomfort. If the sinusitis is caused by a bacterial infection, a healthcare provider may prescribe antibiotics. For chronic sinusitis, corticosteroids or other medications may be recommended. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a tailored treatment plan.
Sinusitis in the ear canal can cause symptoms like ear pain, pressure, and hearing loss. Treatment options may include antibiotics, decongestants, nasal corticosteroids, and pain relievers. In severe cases, surgery may be needed to drain the sinuses.

Sinusitis is associated with the sinuses, which are air-filled spaces located within the bones of the face and skull. Inflammation of the sinuses can cause symptoms such as facial pain, nasal congestion, and thick nasal discharge.
