What Is The Cure For Headache With Green, Stinky Fluid Discharge After Tooth Extraction Followed By Infection?

This issue started soon after i got my upper tooth pulled on my left side, i ended up going back to the dentist like a week later because of pain and headaches. He took a look and said everything look fine, maybe it was just the after surgery affects. Well like maybe another week later i felt worse, i went to the walk in clinic after work, they said i had temp. over a 100 degrees. They gave me antibiotics and pain meds. They told me to go back to see my dentist because i had an infection, so i did. He still told me everything still looked fine, he ended up putting like a plug where i got my tooth pulled and that stopped the headaches. But i still have this green, stinky fluid that comes out of me constantly, i use a lot of tissue. My left side is always stopped up and blowing my nose all the time isn't normal i would love to get this problem fixed.

Hello, thank you for sharing your problem with healthcaremagic.
Actually the upper back tooth are related to sinus it can be possible that when the tooth was extracted there was a communication built between the socket and the sinus or it can also be possible that your socket has become a dry socket it happens in case of when the extraction is very traumatic.
In both the cases you have to visit a dentist who will completely diagnose it with an x - ray.
So it will be better that you should visit another dentist earliest.
Hope it will help you.
