Congested Nose And Throat With Phlegm After Wisdom Tooth Extraction. Any Suggestions For Treatment ?

Hi,

My wife had a wisdom/mouler tooth extracted from the left side upper jaw about 3 months ago. Since then she has experienced congested nose and throat. Phlegm runs down her throat and she needs to cough to clear it. Her nose will not clear problem with blowing. The phlegm is sometimes tinged with a light green colour. She complains about a foul odour in her mouth when she bend over. Additionally, there appears to be a fragment of tooth rising up from the extraction site. What is your opinion about these problems? Do you have any suggestions for treatment?
