Raye,
Do not wait... see the oral surgeon tomorrow.
If the sinus is open, there is no amount of decongestant that will help. The antibiotic you are on may not be adequate for this either ..... you have to be seen clinically.
In the meantime, rinse with warm salt water 3-4 times during the day to keep the extraction site clean. Do not rinse with any mouthwash... none. You could apply moist heat to that side of your face and sinus... not dry heat, moist only and no ice. Do that every hour or so until you see the surgeon. That will help keep the blood flowing in that area which is what you want to help reduce the pressure from the inflammation (infection?).
Seriously, tomorrow without fail see the os.
Check back with us .... I know this is awful, but you'll be okay.
Bryanna

I suspect I must have quite a large perforation and am miserable.
Question: do I need a 3D CT scan?
Who would repair this? (Oral surgeon or ENT?)
How long should I wait?
Bryanna, I hope you see this post.
