I have no doubts that this is due to bacteria or whatever affecting my sinus emanating from a root canal that was not properly cleaned.
Can someone advise me on pulling a tooth after a root canal? I have no health issues of any kind, definitely no sinus issues, and I do not want this to become permanent - that would mean that I paid $1600 to give myself sinus issues.

I relate to your symptoms exactly. My right nostril is plugged after a root canal done 4 weeks ago. I went to 3 endos, an ENT and oral surgeon. The endos said the X-ray looks normal, cat scan shows minor sinus inflammation. The ENT prescribed drugs of course. The oral surg suggested an apio after an ENT's prognosis. Make a decision. You know intuitively what's best, not these glorified, ignorant Dr.'s. I plan on pulling the tooth after I consult again with my endo and oral surg.
