Jess,
The nosebleeds and sinus congestion on that same side may be linked to the sinus communication that the surgeon acknowledged at your post op appointment. If the pimple is a fistula and there is infection, you will continue to get drainage from that fistula so long as it stays open. Keep rinsing with warm salt water...... 3-4 times a day is adequate enough to keep it open. If the swelling gets bigger and you can't get a hold of that surgeon, call another one or go to the ER. Your oral surgeon is legally obligated to return your call........ cannot believe he hasn't done that yet!
There's not much else I can suggest to you. Hopefully the swelling will not increase and you can get in to see him on tuesday.
Please keep in touch here.......

I called the dentist's emergency number 4 times and left messages over the past 24 hours, but he's not returning my call. The gum where it meets with the cheek has turned really red and is beginning to swell a little, but still only minor pressure, and no really pain. If it gets too bad, I may have to go to the ER. Of course this would happen on a holiday weekend. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I know I probably sound insane, but I'm just really aggravated over this still acting up this much later. I've also had a few nosebleeds this week on that side along with really bad congestion. I thought it was just allergies, but now I'm beginning to wonder if its not some weird infection.
