I had my #3 molar removed and they told me they opened up my sinus. They used a foam to repair the hole and all was good for 4 days. I was rinsing with salt water as instructed and it started gushing out my nose as I spit it out. I called but they couldn't see me for a few days. I was taking Clindamycin to prevent infection as I'm allergic to penicillin. Now it's been 9 days since the extraction and the hole is still open and the infection smell has gotten to the point where my boyfriend even tells me not to look in his direction. I still rinse with salt water and got another script for the antibiotic but it's so incredibly painful and hard to deal with. What are some home remedies to help heal the hole and infection. I'm at my wits end with all this pressure and pain.
The infection has gotten so bad that even though I'm takin Sudafed and mucinex to keep them dry my nose drips orangeish fluid. The dentist told me I needed to be seen ASAP but didn't have any openings til March
