Bryanna,

Thank you for your concern. What usually baffles the oral surgeons is that there is no obvious hole in my gum from where the fluid comes out, so they dismiss the possibility of an oral-antral fistula. I read somewhere, though, that the hoke could be as small a thread, which is my theory. That there is small in which saliva enters and keeps the infection going not let my sinus properly heal.

I have a significant amount of fluid come out of my gum everyday, so there just has to be some type of hole somewhere. It might not be the type commonly encountered, though, but there has to be one.
