hi,
Sometimes during an extraction, you can get what we call an oro-antral communication . An oro-antral communication is when a hole is left between the mouth and the sinus after a procedure such as an extraction. If it doesn't close up and heal, things can get into the sinus and cause problems. But i could not rule out any such thing with above complaints...consult an ENT surgeon get an evaluation done...
good luck...
