Suggest Treatment For Cough And Upper Toothache

I️ was sick with a cold and then got better, but then a really bad cough came on and was keeping me up all night long. No medicine really helped but cough drops helped a bit. The cough is still there but now my upper Tooth in the back is hurting and hurts badly when coughing. Is this a sign of sinus infection or just too much sugar from the cough drops?

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you had cough and upper toothache which seems you have sinus infection and had abscess in your tooth region and pus from that abscess find no way to escape and it starts spreading in facial spaces and leads to facial space infection. Need not to panic about anything. I would suggest you to take a combination of paracetamol and Azithromycin as it will give you relief. Maintain hygiene of oral cavity by brushing and flossing very gently. Don't dislodge clot from socket area. Do warm saline gargles three times a day. Your symptoms will resolve with in 1 week after proper suppression of infection. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit endodontist once and get complete examination done and start treatment accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
