What Causes Extreme Sinus Pressure In Maxillary Cavity Post Treatment For Ear Infection?
I recently had a left inner ear infection. I was put on amoxicillin and given a steroid shot. It has been eights days and I now have unbearable sinus pressure in my right maxillary cavity. I have finished a full box of sudafed and find no relief. Also, sometimes when i blow a greenish mucus will come out but majority of the time, despite my nose feeling stopped up and sounding stopped up nothing will come out.

Hello,
The extreme pressure in maxillary cavity with green mucus discharge indicates bacterial infection of the maxillary sinus. Needs further doses of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, oral steroids and other supportive care. One may require CT scan of the maxillary region if consultant decides so after clinical examination or the medicines are not providing satisfactory results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
