Acute Maxillary Sinusitis?



do u have to have a cold/stuffy nose to have Acute Maxillary Sinusitis? I have a really bad toothache but i have a feeling this is not a dental problem.

No. Cold is not necessary. However, if there is:
Three symptoms
1. maxillary toothache (upper teeth toothache)
2. poor response to decongestants
3. and history of coloured nasal discharge
and 2 signs
1. purulent nasal secretion
2. and abnormal transillumination
are the best clinical predictors of acute sinusitis. When fewer than 2 of the above signs or symptoms are present acute sinusitis can be ruled out. Antibiotic is likely to be helpful in most cases of acute maxillary sinusitis.
It can cause headache toothache besides other sinusitis symptoms, although ive never experienced that aspect of it.
