Hello pascal,
Thanks for posting your query in hcm forum.
Usually post extraction of wisdom tooth is associated with fever,headache,ear and jaw pain.
But all these symptoms lasts for 2 weeks.
Dry socket also usually heals within 1- 2 weeks.
IN your case,since the headache and sinus infection lasts even after 7 years of tooth extraction,chances of nerve damage or sinus penetration has to be ruled out.
I would suggest you to consult a oral surgeon as well as ENT specialist to rule out the cause of toothache.
Meanwhile,maintain good oral hygiene.
Avoid anxiety and stress.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Thanks for asking the query,
I would like to tell you that wisdom tooth extraction is not the simple procedure and often associated with post extraction complications like pain, swelling , difficulty in mouth opening, fever, malaise.
Dry socket is a painful condition and associated with fever and bad breath.
It usually takes a time of 2 weeks to heal, Your Dentist can place a guaze pack which will promote healing you probably have to visit the Dentist to change the dressing.
Take tab brufen for pain relief.
Take lukewarm saline gargles 3-4 times a day to give soothing effect.
Maintain a good oral hygiene take antiseptic mouthwash gargles twice daily.
Hope this helps out.
Regards..

Hello there ,
Thanks for writing your query,
Extraction of wisdom tooth often ends with complications like pain and swelling post extraction .
usually it takes 7 to 10 days for the extraction wound to heal and close completely provided if there is no infection .
After extraction antibiotic and analgesic coverage is must to prevent infection of the extraction site and to promote healing.
dry socket along with super infection leads to pain , fowl odour ,headache , discomfort and restricted mouth opening.
i would suggest you to consult a dentist , as the socket needs currettage to remove the infection and induce fresh blood to accelerate healing .
Zinc oxide eugenol pack is applied as a dressing and it is replaced every 2 to 3 days till the symptoms subside
i would suggest you to start with a antibiotic and analgesic course consulting your dentist , which helps in subsiding the swelling and relives post extraction pain.
follow all the post extraction instructions and rinse the mouth with lukewarm saline or antiseptic mouth rinse.
i hope this helps ,
take care.
