lump on gums and sinus drainage Posted: 01-02-08 23:14pm
I have suffered from sinus issues for many
years now. Over the last 2 months I have
been on three different antibiotics,
currently on prednisone and tylenol with
codeine as the pain in my sinuses and the
lump that has developed between my 2 front
teeth has become extremely painful. I
have been to my doctor, my dentist & an
ENT specialist. The dentist xray showed
my right sinuses to have a "black hole"
which is explained as either air, bacteria
or a cyst in my sinuses. I, also, can
barely breathe out of my nose. My CAT
scan did show a deviated septum and a few
other things, however, this painful lump
on my gums will not go away and no one
seems to have the answer as to what it is.
The dentist seems to think that it is a
pocket of drainage from my sinuses and
fears that my teeth will be effected soon
if it is not resolved. No medications
seem to help and it is extremely painful.
Also, if I push on the top of my mouth,
behind my two front teeth it is very
tender.
