Can chronic sinusitis cause jaw bone pain? Daily pain meds. Posted: 04-27-07 21:21pm
What I am really curious about is that my
jaw has never been tender before, and I am
just wondering how it fits into this
mess.
This has probably been going on for about
2 months now. I have had problems with my
sinuses before. One year took 3 months and
5 different antibiotics before we found
something that worked.
Trying many antibiotics in a short period
of time for an uncertain diagnosis is not
recommended. Headache, face pain and sore
throat are not always signs of sinusitis.
Sinusitis has to be confirmed by an
ENT-examination. An X-ray image of the
sinuses and microbiological smear taken
from the nose and throat can be also
performed in addition to a visual
examination. Further, pain in the jaw
bone is not very typical during sinus
inflammation. Jaw bone pain can be also
due to a tooth/teeth disorder, neuralgia
or TMJ-syndrome. You can consult an
ENT-specialist and dentist about your
problem. In the mean time you may use some
non-opiate painkillers (aspirin,
ketoprofen, ibuprofen, diklofenak…) to
temporarily relieve the pain you are
experiencing.
