Can I get some Sudafed, please?.....

So for like the past week or so, I have had some sinus pressure, runny/stuffy nose, and dental pain! yeah... dental pain, weird, huh? I called my mom, who is in Nursing school, and she said that sometimes sinus pressure can cause dental pain, so I figured that that is what is causing it...
Now, when I say Dental Pain, it sounds pretty simple. What I really mean is... My whole left side of my mouth hurts. My teeth are sensitive to everything, and I feel like I have a massive toothache that is not just one tooth. I have been living on Tylenol.

So today, I decided to go onto WebMD, and looked it up... sure enough... looks like I may have acute sinusitis. (maybe not quite acute yet, but the symptoms all fit... including dental pain.) I wish we had medical insurance, cause then I could just go to the doctor, get a prescription, and hopefully be done with it. But we don't, so I get to suffer. Hopefully it doesn't get worse...

I am going to go buy some sudafed after work. Because silly me.... has never had sinus issues before and forgot that that is exactly the medicine to help it! =)

Pray it helps!

You might try some allergy medicine too...Zyrtec or Claritin/loratidine. I don't know about where you live, but where we live the pollen is outrageous. My entire family has been fighting the watery eyes, runny nose, packed sinuses, and sneezing. It has just started in the last couple of days. Ugh! Spring.
