7. Been there myself with a bad tooth that abscessed into a sinus

All sorts of complications. Many courses of antibiotics. Healing was slow and a secondary fungal infection almost caused me to lose hope.

The one thing that helped, more than everything else, was using a neti pot, religiously, at least twice a day. Use salt and baking soda in the solution and boil the water for two minutes. The hotter the better. It finally went away after a few months. I can’t over recommend this.

Empathy and prayers.
