Just to keep everybody posted

Covid test now NEGATIVE.

Sinus pressure mostly cleared other than some dripping. Ears don't hurt, head doesn't hurt.

Tooth still hurts. And now it's clearly the tooth and not the entire freaking jaw.

Going to the dentist noon tomorrow.

I hope that you get some relief with the dentist visit! This is all No Fun At All.

What bugs me is that I was just *at* the dentist for a cleaning, so you'd think that if something was developing he would've seen it.

Well, he did say my gums were a bit swollen, so.

Yay improvement?

I hear teeth falling out is a symptom, which is terrifying.

[conuly]

That would be terrifying, though in this case I think the dental issue specifically has more to do with my wonky back teeth than anything else.

I have often had the tooth pain/sinus pain and it runs about 50/50 as to which is causing the pain. So I feel ya, and wish you a speedy diagnosis. (I find that my dentist is usually better at diagnosing, no matter which one it is.)

Tooth pain is the worst! *raises fist of rage*

[conuly]

In this case, alas, it seems to have been more 100/100. Sinuses AND teeth, what a combo.

Yay for negative COVID test, at least.

I'm glad most things are improving. I hope the dentist helped too.

Glad you don't have covid and can get your tooth fixed! I hope it isn't a major production.

When I have a sinus infection, especially an infection in the maxillary sinus, my teeth always ache, because their roots are so long that their ends are inside the sinus. It's apparently quite common.

ugh, my last cold had THE MOST LINGERING toothache. I also went to the dentist, even though I was 90% it was due to the sinus infection. I hope yours turns out to be the same, and not worse.
