Hi. It's been almost 2 months also since extraction of my upper left wisdom tooth (difficult extraction - 30 minutes and caused sinus perforation
he stiched the gums also with some of my cheek) One week later I was on antibiotics for 10 days and a second batch of antibiotics almost back to back due to infection- yello "pus" from extraction site and throat and a few times from nose sometimes with bad smell. Now off antibiotics for 2 weeks. not sure if still infection as only feeling something running back of my throat (don't know colour but no smell) and maybe sometimes salty fluid from extraction site. My OS said to wait 2 weeks and come back and he would probably reopen to clean up the sinus maybe food stuck in there that my body cannot evacuate) but he told me that he would not require a CT scan first (when I asked) I would like to know if this is best option and if CT scan would not be advisable before reopening. Are there any alternatives? Thanks for your advice |
