Could Hole Next To Cheek With Thick Mucus Coating On Mouth After Tooth Extraction Be Torn Sinus?

I had a tooth extracted 3 months ago.. followed by what i thought was a severe cold that lasted 6 weeks.recently i have had a mucos coating on my mouth and it has gotten progressivly worse. its thick and i have only found hydrogen peroxide rinse to help. i was using a q-tip to clean up along gums and found a hole on the side,next to my cheek. could this be a torn sinus? I have also recently developed boils? I am concerned i am extremely infected

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have undergone extraction and now you are feeling like sinus, it can be Bacterial growth also after extraction due to not proper maintaince of oral hygiene
You do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Do proper brushing , use chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily
Visit dentist for investigations done if necessary go for Cytology and Biopsy done ,
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good health.
