HeatherKelly,

An understudy? You mean a dental student? Did you have the extraction done in a dental school?

Unfortunately, there is nothing you can really do at home to make this better. You need to be seen by an oral surgeon.... perhaps someone in private practice would really be best.

There are several different classifications of sinus openings which determine the treatment needed to close them. It is beyond anything that you can do personally. Also, you can overdo it with the antihistamines... so do not be of the mindset that more is better. The lowest effective dosage is best.

By any chance do you smoke?

I'm still in agony, it's my entire top jaw that hurts now though. I still rinse with salt water every few hours but the water goes straight in my sinus and out my nose. It's becoming more of a dark greenish color and the smell is horrific. But after I rinse to the point where it's coming out clear I have awful pressure (I know because water is still in my sinus) but I really don't know what to do. I am seeing the oral surgeon again but not until 1/19. I just need to figure out how to survive until then. But am open to any suggestions because I've never felt pain like this.
