hello dear
thanks for your query at hcm

Foul smelling mucus with pain in molar tooth region can be due to maxillary sinus infection . Ibuprofen can decrease pain but will not help to decrease infection. Tiredness and cold can be due to sinus infection .
My recommendation would be consult Ent specialist for further investigation and management . Xr ay of the sinus might help in further management .
Regards
