Sinusitis Forum - Does This Sound Like Sinusitis??

Hi - I am 23 im going on holiday in a few days but im worried about this

i had a bad cold last week lasting 3 bad days it seemed to clear up pretty quick after that - now I have a runny nose a bit of a cough and the strange thing is my upper right teeth 2 or 3 back from the front are slightly sensitive when I walk or bend my head - they aren't sensitive to hot or cold drinks or anything - (im more worried about having to go to the dentist im afraid of them ) does that sound like a sinus infection brought on by the cold??

Im going away soon and I am a real worrier so any comments would be greatly appreciated :-(

thanks

it does sound like sinusitis I have just got over a really nasty bout of it and I couldn't move my head without severe discomfort,my eyes also swelled up to ,have you tried over the counter decongestants like sudafed to try to alleviate it,i had to have a course of antibiotics for the last bout I suffered because I kept leaving it hoping it would just disappear.
